PART B CRITICAL READING FACTSHow india became america 1.I left for boarding school in America in 1991. 2.I found myself turning my head (and wincing a little) when I heard young Indians call their colleagues “dude.” 3.Now it is infused with an energy, a can-do ambition and an entrepreneurial spirit that I can only describe as distinctly American. OPINIONS The n.y.p.d and muslims 1.Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, Commissioner Raymond Kelly of the New York Police Department and their supporters have reacted with defensiveness and hostility to the disclosure of constitutionally suspect surveillance of law-abiding Muslims in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and beyond. 2.Those reactions ignore the views of the governor of New Jersey, a solidly conservative Republican, the mayor of Newark, many Muslim public figures, and leaders of universities where surveillance has occurred 3.Mr. Kelly loudly defends the operation and an exemplary record of preventing terrorist attacks. He should not do that so loudly that he drowns out reasonable criticisms.
