...card and no money, couldn't attend college. I spoke with Steve, who had felt the sting of anti-Iranian racism, but as a recruiter for the Berkeley College Republicans, he nonetheless worked frats in which "minorities are not welcome." Jaime, who's white, was called a "nigger-loving whore" for walking with her black boyfriend in Georgia. But Nicole, a Los Angeles teen whose father is black and mother is white, felt she and her friends had progressed far beyond those divisions. "I think this generation has definitely made America a different America," she says. "It's Asian...

A business story's got no blood, no guts, no prime time. So business is left largely to expert talking heads. On cable, market-oriented business networks are surging like hot IPOs, but sometimes they give us information overload. The moment-to-moment changes in the major stock averages flash nervously on Bloomberg News; the stock tickers scroll rapidly on CNBC and CNNfn, citing...
