...Year-Old Virgin three years ago, she has the poise of a privileged child - getting hit on by guys is just an occupational hazard - and is cocooned in her persona. So she's a good match for Nick, who is beyond being embarrassed by driving a battered yellow Yugo that strangers mistake for a taxi or carrying Handi Wipes in his pocket. They also like the same music, which can unite the most disparate souls. The big problem is his devotion to Tris, which baffles Norah ("I could floss with that girl"). That's Nick's cage...

Silently sitting in the corner, all I could think about, however, was how nothing—not even Counselor Peter’s inappropriately placed goatee—was ever going to convince me that mixing vinegar, yellow food coloring, and rocks could make “real” gold.

The sun beat down on the sunflower-yellow facade of the company's fifty-year-old flagship building in the heart of Singapore's office district, around the corner from AIA's new offices. "I never thought this would happen to AIG," said Aee, shaking his head in amazement...
...downturns. Given the endless stream of bad news about the economy as of late, it is likely that embittered bigots will further demonize immigrants. This is unfortunate, because resurgent nativism would have disastrous consequences for America’s economic future.Media demagoguery is nothing new; only now, jingoism and yellow journalism have evolved into cable news talking heads. Along with some xenophobic politicians, they have made a living out of bashing Hispanics and Middle Easterners. In April, a Colorado state legislator referred to Mexicans as “illiterate peasants” on the State House floor. Controversial talk-show...
