I had the same uneasy mix of feelings when I read Michael Gates Gill’s memoir, “How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else....

Indonesia has become something of an oddity in an era of globalization: a pariah economy, doing quite well in semi-isolation.

But their team, while strong on defense, midfield, and teamwork, just doesn’t have it when it comes to the relentless momentum of a superb forward. Maybe it’s a matter of training. Maybe it’s a matter of culture. Maybe it’s a matter of psychology and the necessary ego to win....
