By CHRIS ANDERSON chris.anderson@heraldtribune.com BRADENTON — Maureen Ngoepe was 21, terribly alone, three months pregnant and a black South African woman wandering scared through the wretchedness of apartheid.

She found her way inside a church one day in 1989 and was sobbing in despair when a mysteri-

ous woman appeared before her.

She had not seen the woman before. She has not seen her since.

The woman told her not to worry, the baby would be fine, a boy, and she should name him Gift because he will be a “Gift from God.” On Jan. 18, 1990, Mpho Gift Ngoepe was born in South Africa, and how a Sotho tribesman from the most rudimentary of means

By BROOKS BARNES The New York Times ORLANDO — Maryland teachers were instructed to engage children by crouching and speaking to them at eye level. Chevrolet dealers were taught to think in theater metaphors: onstage, where smiles greet potential buyers, and offstage, where sales representatives can take out-of-sight cigarette breaks.

A Florida children’s hospital was advised to welcome patients in an entertaining way, prompting it to employ a ukulele-playing greeter dressed in safari gear.

Dark side of a push to win market dominance

By DAVID BARSTOW The New York Times MEXICO CITY — In September 2005, a senior Wal-Mart lawyer received an alarming email from a former executive at the company’s largest foreign subsidiary, Wal-Mart de Mexico. In the email and followup conversations, the former executive described how WalMart de Mexico had orchestrated a campaign of bribery to win market dominance.

In its rush to build stores, he said, the company had paid bribes to get permits in virtually every corner of the country.

The former executive gave names, dates and bribe amounts. He knew so much, he explained, because for years he had been the lawyer in charge of obtaining construction permits for Wal-Mart de Mexico.

Wal-Mart dispatched investigators to Mexico City, and within days they unearthed evidence of widespread bribery.

They found a paper trail of hundreds of suspect payments totaling more than $24 million.

They also found documents showing that Wal-Mart de Mexico’s top executives not only knew about the payments, but had taken steps to conceal them from Wal-Mart’s headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. See BRIBES on 6A
