- 124: The Joy Luck Club: Relationship Between Mother and Daughter
- ... I have also felt that I didn't quite belong around my classmates, as Tan's characters had, and that's partly why so many of my friends are Chinese (the "Chinese clique" =^D) and Asian--we look similar and come from similar backgrounds.

This assimilation problem isn't as severe as it may sound (after all, some of my Asian friends seemed to fit in just fine--maybe it's just me?), but it's still there, and Amy Tan does an excellent job of portraying it through her characters.

Upon hearing news of this, the CIA told Kennedy that in order to succeed the US must provide air coverage for the exiles.
