Once, not so long ago, no one wanted to be Tiger Woods. Especially Tiger, with his cafE-au-lait complexion and American serviceman father. Today, Eurasians are the flavor du jour, not only in the U.S., where mixed-race citizens personify the American melting pot, but even more so in Asia, where race-conscious policies are often encoded in law. In Indonesia, where until recently ethnic Chinese were barred from writing in their own script, the hottest celebrities are indos, or mixed-race folks like actors Karina Suwandi and Ari Wibowo. In Bangkok, where the local skin trade has spawned...
...Kerrville, 100 miles due west of Austin, it's easy to catch the fever. At Joe's Jefferson Street Cafe, cell phones of Realtors chirp away during lunch with calls from buyers willing to dole out $3 million to $4 million for hardscrabble land with little productive value. "Cost is not an object," marvels appraiser Billy Snow, cutting into his chicken-fried steak. Architectural firms such as Kerrville's Artisan Group are busy building homes as big as country clubs with private jetports. "People have built castles, actual castles," says Kerr County's chief appraiser, Fourth Coates. "They even change...
...Outback Internet Cafe? Good product placement for the iMac, but horribly treacly viewing, as CBS dragged the contestants' families in for a lifeline-style Outback trivia game to hand out the week's reward - which was neither food nor shelter but a half-hour "private chat" for Tina and her family. (And a $500 shopping spree, courtesy of the good folks at - well, I'm not telling. Take that, capitalist pigs.) Nothing like Internet-homesickness - set of course to a tinkling piano score - to make rugged survivalism cuter than a well-worn teddy bear. This is what...
...Vietnam, the songs of TRINH CONG SON provided the audio track for the war. Hauntingly sentimental and filled with the sadness of separation and death, they always seemed to be drifting from some battered tape player in a cafE or at an army checkpoint on the road to nowhere. Son, 62, who died of diabetes complications in Ho Chi Minh City last week, wasn't liked by the old Saigon regime bullyboys because they thought his lyrics favored unification and disparaged war. They did, of course, and Son?dubbed "the Bob Dylan of Vietnam" by none other than Joan Baez...
...steel-mill town of Munster, Ind., members of the Family Christian Center don't have to go very far to order a tall vanilla latte or a grande cafe mocha. The church has opened a Starbucks right in its lobby. The coffee bar, above, part of the church's Heavenly Grounds Cafe & Bookstore, doesn't sell much coffee--about 200 cups a week--but that's not the point. "It tears down walls and the perception that church is stuffy and cold," says Melodye Munsey, co-pastor (with her husband Steve) of the 6,000-member nondenominational church. "People...
