插图：Opportunity is the crux of the American idea. Opportunity is what the New world has always represented:struggle,risk,self- determination, and the hope of spiritual and material progress. Even now, to new immigrants, that of something like it is the pull——and for them at least, it is no false promise. If you move to America, you move up, and this is true whether you are rafting across the Rio Grande or negotiating the hazards of the HIB visa program. British emigrants（I am one ）are fond of Spain and the United States. They go to Spain to retire; they come here to rise to new challenges.
