...Internet bubble is a lot like other monumental investment schemes throughout history. Common characteristics include mass greed and a complete disconnect between a stock's price and its fundamental value.

...will not completely disagree with Justin G. Fong's opinions (Magazine, "The Invasian," March 15). After all, I sincerely believe that his goal was not merely to insult Asians but rather to enlighten. However, he could have expressed his opinions at a more respectable level rather than his apparent unwarranted judgments based upon simple observations. Like he said, criticism is best received from within, but his style of execution is distasteful and obviously ineffective. Who does he think he can convince by setting an aggressive tone?

No one understands why the acclaimed diva has decided on this strange mission, and she chooses not to enlighten them: "I don't owe anyone an explanation." The experiment, set up on 47 acres near the village of Anaheim, soon convinces the 14 emigres involved that successful farming and the contemplative life are incompatible. Leaving her husband behind to settle the debts, Zalezowska goes to San Francisco, polishes...
