...face, the political debate is about illegal immigration--law, security and fairness. But this immigration panic, like past ones, taps into fears not limited to illegals. Who gets to say what American culture is? Is there enough room--and prosperity--to go around? Ugly Betty's overarching story is metaphorically about the same battle. Betty is an outsider at Mode magazine not just because she dresses badly but also because of things that have to do directly with her ethnicity. She grosses out her skinny, preening, (mostly) Anglo co-workers by bringing empanadas for lunch. Her features are broad...
...discerning Chinese collectors in the model of the influential Saatchi. But that's unlikely to affect the demand for modern Chinese art, since many of the newly minted millionaires simply don't have anywhere else to put their cash.

Roger Noriega, who until last year was Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, wrote that an Ortega presidency would "invigorate the axis...
...this subtly shifts the focus away from the children and their nanny (a spunky, Americanized Mary played by newcomer Ashley Brown) and to the adults. When the uptight Mr. Banks begins to panic that he may lose his job at the bank, there's real pain and poignancy as his crusty shell starts to crumble. (Mrs. Banks: "If you have problems, I want to share them." Mr. Banks: "Believe me, you will.")
