*** For City Kept Sleepless By Colic, No End To Cures In Melting Pot
<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/11/nyregion/11colic.html?hp>
Nina Bernstein, New York Times

Nearly 200 languages are spoken in New York City, and in all of them, the wail of a colicky baby needs no translation. Is it indigestion? Gas? Nostalgia for the womb? Nobody really knwos. So in this city where 6 of 10 babies have at least one foreign-born parent and pediatricians come from every corner of the world, a cornucopia of colic cures serves as a kind of Rorschach test of child-rearing culturre in migration.

*** Romancing The Globe
<http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3269&print=1>
Ibsen Martinez, Foreign Policy

Latin American soap operas have circled the globe and made a splash in places as far flung as Poland, Russia, and Indonesia. Their secret? Plotlines that keep the poor and underprivileged glued to their sets. Now these surprising Latin exports are part of the global cultural establishment -- and taking on Hollywood heavyweights.

*** New Yorker On DVD Is Readers' Delight, Surfers' Frustration
<http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB113158619499393087-qChmJ3YbYR11JqaQxSbS1brAch8_20061110.html?mod=blogs>
Jessica Mintz, Wall Street Journal

Why does The Complete New Yorker feel so low-tech? The explanation lies in a years-long battle over a clause in U.S. copyright law concerning the ownership of rights to magazine articles written by free-lancers.
