As Scott Page observed, one day in 1904, at the World Fair in St Louis, the ice cream vendor ran out of cups. Ernest Hami, a Syrian waffle vendor in the booth next door, rolled up some waffles to make cones – and the rest is history.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Filled with data, anecdotes and optimism, \u003ci\u003eThem and Us\u003c\/i\u003e is an endorsement of cultural differences at a time of acute national introspection.
