...number had jumped to a quarter-million. The immigrants often took jobs Americans had turned down because the pay was low or the location remote. "There would be an opening for a surgeon in Champagne, Ill.," says Fareed Zakaria, a Bombay-born academic who is managing editor of the prestigious quarterly Foreign Affairs, "and an Indian would take...
...Pointing fingers is risky--there's always the danger you'll poke yourself in the eye. That's what happened last week to Talk Miramax Books and its celebrity editor, Tina Brown, when pesky Internet muckraker Matt Drudge got his hands on a draft of one of the company's titles. Written by investigative reporter John Connolly and tentatively called The Insane Clown Posse, the book proposed to turn the tables on President Clinton's impeachment accusers, from Ken Starr and his staff to several anti-Clinton journalists, by exposing their secrets.

It also put Emerge on the map. "It let people know there was nothing and no one we were afraid to take...
Johnson, a former editor at Time Inc., where Emerge got its start a decade ago before being sold to BET, thinks Emerge failed because "it didn't strike the right chord with its readers." By that, he clearly means that Curry's bristling brand of journalism is no longer marketable to a black bourgeois audience that wants to be entertained, not browbeaten. The new, as yet unnamed, magazine that Vanguarde will bring out next year to take Emerge's place, says Johnson, will be "a black Vanity Fair. Our hope is to create an editorial product that is smart, provocative...
