» The Statue of Liberty's creator, the Alsatian artist Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, grew up in a world apart from the "huddled masses" who arrived in the New World, sailing toward her beacon. Born in 1834, into a rich and prestigious family in Colmar in northeastern France, his ancestors were doctors, pharmacists and bureaucrats who never felt the need to leave their homeland in search of opportunity. And yet, he managed to capture something ineffable about the America he visited in 1871, which -- along with its placement -- has made his statue an enduring symbol.
Early impact of the US-China showdown

As some of the US multinationals in China turn elsewhere, Southeast Asia will be poised for short-term gains, although longer-term prospects bear risks.
