He could not believe that our country was perceived in any way other than good. The new vigilance requires such a tenacity. Good prevails. When we no longer feel party to a covenant of good works, good thoughts, good people that is when we should start to feel nervous.We can make a choice not to join the fearful throngs and stick to the original mission, panthers notwithstanding.Elizabeth Richards is a high school English teacher and novelist.

People like investing in our free and democratic country, where everything is open and known.In Bombay, India's financial capital, concerns about the sustainability of the boom often play second fiddle to heady talk about India's economic potential.
