It was as though Mr. Bloomberg had been named star pupil, and Mr. Green commanded to wash his mouth out with soap.
Neither of the familiar two-party coalitions (CDU-FDP or SPD-Greens) commands a majority.

Back in 1984 Steve Jobs, with a luminous mane of black hair, double-breasted suit and green bowtie, commanded the stage at Flint Performing Arts Centre near Apple's headquarters in Cupertino to show off the new Macintosh computer.

We should remain attentive to assure that these private and public/private initiatives do not yield a future in which green tycoons control the commanding heights of the next generation of large-scale technological systems: think Henry Ford and cars, Carnegie and steel, John D Rockefeller and oil.
