...maybe Asia's Eurasian craze is driven by the theories of that whitest of white men, economist Adam Smith. As the world gets smaller, we look for a global marketing mien, a one-size-fits-all face that helps us sell Nokia cell phones and Palmolive shampoo across the world. "For any business, you can't think locally anymore," says Paul Lau, general manager at Elite Model Management in Hong Kong, who has built up a stable of Eurasians for his internationally minded clients. "At the very least, you need to think regionally. Ideally, you should think globally." A global...
...Iowans, it appears, don't want to live in Vilsack's melting pot. This is the fourth whitest state in America, and some people want it to stay that way. Just last week the Iowa legislature began debating a proposal to make English the state's official language.

...brief series of panels on a wall describes the gaming operation and its impact upon the community. Next to these, a mocked-up slot machine stands as a model of what has brokered the reservation's transformation. As I read one of the panels, the whitest man I have ever seen, complete with massive gut, Boston accent and wife in tow, passes in front of me, headed for the slot machine. He looks around nervously and surreptitiously removes his wallet from his back pocket. He opens it and takes out a $1 bill, which he repeatedly attempts to feed into...
