By the way, I had this column in the CSM on Thursday.It might seem like a bit of a diversion to have been writing about Asia’s rise; but it’s an important concomitant aspect of everything that’s happening in the world these days.
Anyway, since I was in such an information-poor environment (traveling; no broadband; very few sources of info at all), I realized I needed to do some form of a big-picture think piece. So that was what I did.
