Colliding Color Blurs. How much history? No one could say, least of all the principals. Historian Arnold Toynbee once mused that world peace could come from only two sources: world government or racial amalgamation. Which will take longer remains to be seen, and some experts predict a ten-century wait before the colors blend in the U.S. alone (see ESSAY...
