...this country - one the colonizer, the other the first nation's people." Others, like Brash, say the treaty was about unity, not partnership: it laid the basis for a single nation in which all citizens have equal rights - including rights to preserve their culture and language. Since the late '80s, however, government and the courts have emphasized "biculturalism." Laws on development and conservation, research, education and the arts now call for special consultation with Maori on how to implement treaty principles. This view of the treaty also underpins Maori television, Maori education and health programs and separate Maori seats...
Vince Kosmac of Orlando, Fla., has lived both sad chapters of outsourcing--the blue-collar and white-collar versions. He was a trucker in the 1970s and '80s, delivering steel to plants in Johnstown, Pa. When steel melted down to lower-cost competitors in Brazil and China, he used the G.I. Bill to get a degree in computer science. "The conventional wisdom was, 'Nobody can take your education away from you,'" he says bitterly. "Guess what? They took my education away."

Step back in time at this no frills, cash-only diner. You can sit at the long counter for a front-row view of the sizzling griddle while listening to the familiar strains of country and rock music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The menu at this tiny establishment is simple but satisfactory with basic subs, clubs, sandwiches and an extensive all-day breakfast menu. Servings are generous to a fault, and most orders come with a choice of various classic breakfast sides. Be sure to try the ham, cheese and mushroom omelet...
