...Over a generation ago, the more procurable “Green Card” craze brought many Indians (including my own parents) overseas for greater opportunity—suitors for marriage then labeled “export-quality” spouses.

He had a hand in the genesis of such juggernauts as Survivor and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. (See TIME's television covers...
