...complexities of this change are often missed by those who pontificate from afar. "It is better to look at a thing once than to hear about it a hundred times," President Jiang Zemin told our group in a meeting in Shanghai. And for those of us who had marveled at being able to use the Internet in cafes in Kashgar, he updated that old Chinese saying for the digital era his country is now embracing: "You can know everything from the Internet, but it cannot replace personal experiences with people." This was, indeed, the prime purpose of our Newstour...
Bond girls are granted memorable names but fleeting roles. Most get replaced by younger models with less clothing in subsequent releases. Now, in what must be a lothario's nightmare, Vanity Fair has assembled 007's sirens for a group photo.

So far, the disputes have been trivial. But trouble could erupt if the girls decide, say, to marry outside their ethnic group. Rajaram is already steeling himself for the battle--and his likely defeat. "I'll try to talk them out of it first. And if they still go ahead, then I'll say, 'It's O.K. I don't approve, but have a good life...
What helps? Social workers and attorneys who strive to understand. Lawmakers who consider the needs of this population. And support groups, like GAP and those run by New York's department for the aging, that offer resources and reduce isolation. Vickie Corbett started her own group in Rocky Mountain, N.C., for that reason. "Honest to goodness, it saved my life," she says...
