...modernize this fast without eroding the traditions that define it? In Thailand, "traditional" is now often a pejorative term, meaning low-class or old-fashioned. Many of the temple's social functions have been replaced by the mall, where, the author notes, "the principal rite is the right to shop." What matters most is looking dern.

After a number of successful attempts, a ChoicePoint employee finally got wise and alerted police. When cops nabbed Olatunji Oluwatosin, 41, at a Copymat shop in Hollywood, he had five cell phones and three credit cards on him, each under different names. He has pleaded no contest to identity theft, but authorities say others must be involved, since the stolen data have been used in 750 fraud attempts...
