A century ago, Russell Conwell, a Baptist preacher, distilled this gospel in his speech "Acres of Diamonds." Through some 6,000 public appearances, the tireless Conwell told his exotic story of a man who left his farm to search the globe for gems, only to die penniless and bereft - while the world's largest diamond mine lay waiting to be discovered on the man's original acreage.

Like generations of immigrants, legal or not, she brings fresh eyes, a tireless work ethic and a different perspective to revitalize a tired institution. (Like Borat, she's in the tradition of the outsider who helps America see itself.) Ironic, amid the effete fashionistas, that she's the one the audience identifies with as an everyday American...
