Press: America's DNA - NYT

America's DNA - New York Times: "In New Delhi, the Indian writer Gurcharan Das remarked to me that with each visit to the U.S. lately, he has been forced by border officials to explain why he is coming to America. They 'make you feel so unwanted now,' said Mr. Das. America was a country 'that was always reinventing itself,' he added, because it was a country that always welcomed 'all kinds of oddballs' and had 'this wonderful spirit of openness.' American openness has always been an inspiration for the whole world, he concluded. 'If you go dark, the world goes dark.'"
