The time was mid-September. The place, a sunny terrace overlooking the yacht harbor of Monte Carlo. In the 60 days since then, not one person has bought a Henk (Henk.com). Nor has a single word about the suitcase appeared in the world's press, outside of Monaco. Why? The reason may be that like any other epic innovation--fire, democracy, double-entry
