Ramon Vilaró sets out some of the least disclosed aspects of North American society in article format, but without the rush of a daily feature and the constraints of space imposed by a dynamic paper.

For example, the strength of minorities, especially the Hispanic minorities, the turn towards conservatism in family life, the changes in eating and dress habits, sport, sex, culture, school, work, etc.
