Steve Klahr of RockAdian Development Group, a company that designs, builds and renovates nursing homes and assisted living facilities around the country, was flying into Cincinnati, Ohio, on an early morning flight.

He needed caffeine very badly, so he made a beeline for the first gas station on his route. There was an older man behind the counter, a grandfatherly-looking type, talking on the phone in what sounded like Arabic.
