...high rates of depression and marital discord. Says Kim Cook, a Vietnamese-born social worker in Washington: "They find the society to be highly stress producing." The disintegration of families is a particularly devastating blow to those raised in cultures in which the continuity of the generations was the bedrock of life. Cambodian- born Tino Cheav, whose husband was killed in the Khmer Rouge reign of terror, weeps as she recounts how some of her six children began staying out late, then one dropped out of high school entirely. "I am sick and cannot rely on my children," she says...

The sentiment has sprouted from a relatively new bedrock enthusiasm for the U.S. and its values. Long notorious for their anti-Americanism, the prickly French have become more glowingly pro- American than at any other time since the early 1950s...
