...work, clients are pressuring him to hire new blood to reach the youth market. "We're a young country," a colleague says. "The President has a baby." The culture is being transformed by a charismatic young leader. (Everyone is watching Jackie Kennedy on TV giving tours of the White House.) It sounds timely, given the Obama candidacy, but in Don's world, Camelot is less about hope than about anxiety, not a magic kingdom but an invading force. Even the return of space hero John Glenn annoys Don's boss, Roger Sterling (John Slattery...

...studied the phenomenon, such white-collar transfers amount to perhaps no more than the equivalent of 15,000 jobs right now. But more and more of this work is beginning to wend its way to the Caribbean, parts of Asia and other literate regions where intellectual skills are for hire at relatively low cost. In Dallas, for example, Pacific Data Services has been subcontracting computer work for clients since 1981 to data centers in the People's Republic of China. PDS boasts that although some of the Chinese workers do not understand English, they copy the information so carefully that...
