...work? What will be rebuilt? Who will own the new construction? Sticky questions. Let's hope that in a couple of years journalists will compare what they find in these areas with how things were before the tsunami. How many poor fishermen will get boats, and how many beach resorts will be rebuilt? Who will benefit? Real assistance consists of organizing at the grass-roots level with the goal of putting aid money where it is needed and making sure it doesn't end up in the pocket of foreign contractors and owners of resorts.

They're identically damaged souls, orbiting one another faster and faster, out of control, lost in space. There's plenty of sharp, funny show-biz business here.

But Wagner boldly goes beyond...
Other businesses are facing similar conundrums. Several seafood restaurants around the country find themselves saddled with a name that once sounded chic but now seems tasteless. At the Tsunami Restaurant in West Palm Beach, Fla., patrons used to ask what a tsunami was. Now managers fear potential diners will assume the restaurant was named for the disaster. But after two years of marketing the restaurant's name, the managers aren't eager to change it. Instead, they're sponsoring happy-hour fund raisers for UNICEF...
