decades,

A
survey
of
Australia's
media
expats
has
delivered
a
consistent
picture:
they're
blunt,
emboldened
by
the
bigger,
more
competitive
US
market
and
they're
not
coming
home.

A
report
was
forwarded
to
us
from
a
regular
reader
of
our
website
Newsletters.
"During
the
first
quarter
of
fiscal
year
2008,
which
started
last
July,
the
Jewish
Family
Services
has
seen
a
21
percent
increase
in
requests
for
financial
assistance.
This
is
on
top
of
the
15
percent
increase
the
organization
experienced
last
year.
"There's
no
reason
to
think
we've
seen
the
end
of
that,"
said
Dr.
Emile
Bendit,
president
of
the
JFS
board.
"With
gasoline
prices
rising,
the
winter
months
fast
approaching
there
is
growing
concern
that
the
number
of
individuals
applying
for
financial
assistance
will
continue
to
accelerate."

This
new
book
"Asian
Godfathers
Money
and
Power
in
Hong
Kong
and
Southeast
Asia"
by
Joe
Studwell,
Atlantic
Monthly
Press,
328
pp.
is
well
worth
reading.
The
principal
beneficiaries
of
those
relationships
between
government
and
business
have
been
men
whom
Studwell
calls
alternatively
godfathers
and
tycoons
-
a
group
of
billionaires,
descended
mainly
from
Chinese
immigrants,
who
since
the
end
of
World
War
II
have
dominated
the
domestic
economies
of
Indonesia,
Malaysia,
Thailand,
the
Philippines,
Singapore
and
Hong
Kong.
