I think that the practical rate is less than the theoretical rate. Studies in the 1980s indicated that their real world efficacy was 50% - over a long period of time they reduced the expected pregnancy rate by 50%. You have to include breakage and slippage in the figure.

Did Azimov write them or did he have 'help'. It bugs me when some no talent bum writes the sequels and they slap the original writer's name on it like he did something besides get a fat check.
Rama or it's sequals were like that.
Is Azimov still kicking?

But in my little part of Calif., they are not assimilating. Here the Latino tells us that their heart is with Mexico. Now some do shop at Wal Mart, Target, etc., but some have started their own stores and those stores cater just to Latino. All of the name, signs, etc., are in Spanish.
In SF they have China town, here we are going to have Latino town.

Most of the people I see are attempting to assimilate because that's where the better paying jobs come from. Napa has a bunch of uneducated farm workers who work the field during harvest and planting season then head back south. They're mostly temperary workers or people who aren't serious about bettering their life beyond getting a job in manual labor.
Sure, even educated assimulated latino will say he's Mexican the same as some Mick in Boston will claim he's Irish but if he dresses American, talks American, eats American food, and argues about American politics/sports/schools/pick a topic then he's likely on his way to being assimulated.

Okay, so lets just say that Latino's take over California...
Considering California is a democrat state, and most latinos are democrats, this is going to change everything how?
However, Muslim (I presume) Arabs taking over polls in Europe is disturbing...not only might it create conflict with the numerous Catholics, but having yet another fundalmentalist group getting voting power in a European country? That is bad, very bad...there are already too many Catholics, we certainly don't need Muslims in that mess...
I am not in favor of large militaries, and really don't like having America under Republican control, but under Republicans, at least we won't have to worry about China becoming to powerful and spreading its police state principles to the rest of the world...I don't support capitalism, but I'd rather have a free, capitalist America than an authortarian China than will not hesitate to shoot people who oppose communism...I hope that China and Americ do not become too powerful and attempt to impose their idealogies in weaker countries...
Let us hope that the large nuclear arsenals of the US and China will prevent such a thing happening...as long as China and the US are equally powerful, we won't have to worry about a capitalist free market nor a communist police state becoming too powerful and controlling world affairs...
On the other hand, if the US and China are equal, the idealogies and interests of Europe could shift the power one way or another...Europe currently sides (mostly) with the US, and therefore, China wouldn't be able to impose it powers on other nations...
However, if a mid-eastern culture controlled Europe, while Europe may not exactly switch sides to China, it probably wouldn't stay with the US, giving China a chance to extend its power elsewhere...

I've been in San Antonio for awhile, and I think assimilation is the rule, not the exception. Most of the Mexicans that I have met do not have loyalty to Mexico, but to the United States. If they have loyalty to Mexico, why don't they live there?
Every immigrant has that tension, between preservation of their own culture and between adopting the culture of the new country. Now granted assimilation doesn't mean forgoing all of what one is brought up with, but it does mean forming a balance between the two.
Secondly, you have to remember that it is not the first generation, but the second and the third where a country truly reaps the benefits of immigration.
