None of this, of course, is new: Chinese silks were all the rage in Rome centuries ago, and Alexandria before the time of Christ was a paradigm of the modern universal city. Not even American eclecticism is new: many a small town has long known Chinese restaurants, Indian doctors and Lebanese grocers. But now all these cultures are crossing at the speed of light. And the rising diversity of the planet is something more than mere cosmopolitanism: it is a fundamental recoloring of the very complexion of societies. Cities like Paris, or Hong Kong, have always had a soigne, international...
...studies American history in school, all the more reason to begin it at Harvard, as students do elsewhere, in courses on East Asia or ancient Rome or Africa or modern Germany. And these courses will prepare one for business, law, medicine, politics--even for American history.

In The Saint, a man from the Colombian Andes takes the miraculously preserved body of his daughter, dead at age seven and exhumed 11 years later to make way for a dam, to Rome to seek her canonization by the church.
