After all, I sincerely believe that his goal was not merely to insult Asians but rather to enlighten.

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...
