I wanted to try to give it a facelift," says Que Vinh Dang, executive chef at Duke's Burger, (852) 2526 7062, one of latest additions to Hong Kong's SoHo dining district. He's not the only one. Designer burgers - with the foie-gras toppings, sprinkled truffles and all the rest - have been popping up on menus everywhere these past few years.

...risen another 44% this year. But the legitimate market is small and illiquid-the Ho Chi Minh Securities Exchange has just 109 listed companies, up from 30 at the beginning of 2006-and there are not enough shares to feed the growing mania for stocks.

The local dining guide for Los Angeles called a cheap Vietnamese veggie joint in Reseda named Vinh Loi Tofu its highest rated restaurant, based upon a single review. Vinh Loi Tofu? In a major city that boasts Spago, Michaels, Koi, A.O.C., the Ivy, Crustacean and dozens of other amazing eateries? Narrowing my search to the TIME bureau's zip code of 90025, the Top 5 included a Starbucks located seven miles down the road.

...stress how the Bretons and Basques thrive largely because of the survival of their languages. More organizations like midas (the European Association of Daily Newspapers in Minority and Regional Languages) must be founded to help the minor languages - and thereby cultures - prosper in a globalized Europe and world. Vinh Prag Arhus, Denmark Thanks for this fascinating article. As a London-based Cornishman, I'm surprised that you omitted the Celtic links between Cornwall and Brittany. Nor did you include the Catalans, whose domain stretches from around Béziers in France to Barcelona in Spain. The more that globalized trade...
