All the world's a rainbow coalition, more and more; the whole planet, you might say, is going global. When I fly to Toronto, or Paris, or Singapore, I disembark in a world as hyphenated as the one I left. More and more of the globe looks like America, but an America that is itself looking more and more like the rest of the globe. Los Angeles famously teaches 82 different languages in its schools.

Freeman and Omrani, an Iranian national, were given toiletries and sent to the washroom as the plane left without them...
...takes seven days to complete its journey, which leaves plenty of time for passengers to disembark along the way and explore more closely the river's treasures. The monks of St. Wandrille may offer a tour of their abbey, an anthology of architecture that includes not only medieval ruins but also a 15th century barn moved onto the abbey grounds a few years ago from a nearby village. In another crook of the river is the Abbaye de Jumieges; William the Conqueror made a point of appearing for its consecration...
