...just generational diversity that separates the new 90210 from the old. In the original, the only nonwhite cast members were extras - black students inexplicably wearing business suits to school and a couple of young Saudi sheiks roaming the quad. In 90210 2.0, Dixon, who is adopted, is African American. Another regular character, Navid Shirazi, is an Iranian-American student played by darkly handsome (though not Iranian) Michael Steger.

The reasons - just like the reasons that the Japanese and Swedes live longer than the Ukrainians, and why aborigines in Australia on average die 17 years earlier than non-aborigines - are almost entirely social, according to a new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) released today...
Port Elizabeth, South Africa [Laughs.] Well, the problem is, when you call any kind of movement new, you've already doomed it to an early death. There is some of it now, and it usually comes out in books. Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down is an example of it and a very good one. I don't see it that much in magazines...
