...spending won't even stay in the country. More than half of the several thousand college basketball coaches who flock to the Final Four for their annual convention will be lodging across the river - and border - in Windsor, Ontario. Don't underestimate the financial clout of the coaches, who wander around the host city in their schools' sweat suits (Look, there goes Coach K from Duke! And over there, an assistant coach from Le Moyne!), angling for job gossip and drinking lots of beer. We're talking buckets of beer. And since both Detroit and Windsor have casinos, many coaches...
...wander into a bedroom teeming with stoned yet attractive partygoers. Ah, there’s Britney, complete with strategically tousled hair and her post-comeback “It’s Britney, bitch” stare.

...Blackett zeroes in on, Matthew Webb, the Oxford-educated son of his business partner, eventually proves to be not so suitable after all. Webb is the opposite of Blackett. A soft-hearted pacifist who once worked for the League of Nations, he arrives in Singapore and promptly begins to wander away from Walter's zealously charted course by getting involved with a beautiful Chinese refugee and exploring the teeming districts of Chinatown and Boat Quay, where lightermen, stevedores and rickshaw pullers scrounge out a meager living...
...Farrell's characters survive in spirit, too. Misfits like Webb still wander into Singapore, and though firms like Blackett's have ceded to local conglomerates, his penchant for order and profit can still be witnessed within today's business élite. With his gentle wit Farrell captures the soul of Singapore: a polyglot Asian port, still partly under the sleepy sway of its British colonial past, and still lurching toward an uncertain future with a furious, irresistible energy...
