...rusting Hulks of Bethlehem Steel's blast furnaces and coke ovens cast a long shadow over the Lehigh Valley. "Bessie" once employed 30,000 people in its namesake town in northeastern Pennsylvania. The company survives elsewhere, but what's left of it here has been all but abandoned. The windows of the redbrick warehouses are cracked and clouded. A portion of train trestle stands idle, neither end connected to anything. Such sights would have been unimaginable 30 years ago, when the valley roared with the fires of open-hearth furnaces...

But it takes determination to come around again to the uncorrupted enthusiasm that was once so natural. Perhaps that's the true richness of this traditional Christmas tale. It may not be sacred...
...those in Muslim lands eventually look like Americans. Not everyone wants Big Macs, 200 TV channels and the separation of church and state. Nations are capable of finding their own paths to modernity. That will be as true in Iraq as it has been in a village in the shadow of the White Mountains of western Crete.
