...This is the way Hollywood, in its so-called Golden Age, socialized America: by showing beautiful people in chic clothes trying to behave honorably - sometimes while singing and dancing. It's not a stretch to say that movies taught the underclass how to act like the middle and upper classes. High School Musical and Take the Lead may be no one's idea of classic, or even very good, movies, but they are in that gentle pedagogic mold.

Given such conditions, "our marketing plan for Hangzhou or Dalian [two mid-sized Chinese cities] is bigger than for all of India put together," says Ravi Thakran...
...leave it to the Italians to reinvent the cabin as a clubhouse. MiMa?an abbreviation of Milano-Manhattan?will soon begin service between Milan and New York City. Partly owned by Alitalia, MiMa will screen passengers for chic quotient as well as weapons, enrolling those who pass as "members."
