...Since the turn of the decade, TIME has closely followed the newest wave of immigrants to America and the ways in which they are changing our nation. A 1981 cover story described the pervasive Hispanic influence in South Florida, and another in 1983 dealt with the new mix of ethnic groups in Los Angeles. The subject, however, encompasses areas as diverse as education, culture, food, business, religion, indeed every aspect of our lives. The more TIME's editors examined immigration today, the more they concluded that it represented a change of historic dimensions. For this reason, they have chosen...
...their neighbors throughout Asia, merely waited 500 years before turning Stewart's whimsy into something approaching reality. From the Flushing neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens to the Sunset district of San Francisco, from the boatyards of Galveston Bay to the rich Minnesota farmlands, a burgeoning wave of Asian immigrants is pouring into the U.S. Some of the newcomers do indeed continue to wear the comfortable flowing garments of their native lands. And in cities like Westminster, a Los Angeles suburb, an elaborately decorated archway stands prominently among shops that are designed to be reminiscent of Saigon...
...newcomers are drastically changing the Asian-American mix. The 1980 census showed that Japanese Americans, the largest Asian subgroup since 1910, have dropped to third place (701,000), after Chinese Americans (806,000) and Filipino Americans (775,000).

Born 53 years ago, in Caslav, Czechoslovakia, Forman was already a significant cinema voice before his arrival in the U.S. He had helped unleash the Czech new wave of the 1960s with a trio of wry social comedies: Black Peter, Loves of a Blonde and The Fireman's Ball. But in 1968 the Prague Spring ended abruptly to the rumble of Soviet tanks, and shortly thereafter Forman went to New York City to shoot his first American film, the gentle, generation-gap comedy Taking Off. "I've never been political," he insists, "not in Czechoslovakia, not in this country...
...were as easy to imitate as it is to describe, all writers might be millionaires. Yet he is the prevailing master in the horror-lit racket because his work hardly ever seems calculated or artificial. The Mist begins: "This is what happened. On the night that the worst heat wave in northern New England history finally broke--the night of July 19--the entire western Maine region was lashed with the most vicious thunderstorms I have ever seen." The novella-length story is an exercise in escalating gruesomeness, and the urgency and awkwardness of the narrative lend credence...
