The Ladies Professional Golf Association recently mandated players to speak English or risk suspension from the tour. How ironic that women have fought to be on equal footing with men in the workplace, sports, politics and a host of other areas. Now, years after achieving their rights, they decide it&#8217;s time to subjugate another group. ...]]></description>

Wall Street Journal recently profiled the increasing influence of Korean designers in the US auto industry.

If you don&#8217;t know Haruki Murakami, he&#8217;s one of Japan&#8217;s most popular and celebrated authors.
