Tara:
 
A writer named Shanlon Wu wrote a brief essay called "In Search of Bruce
Lee's Grave" that appears in my composition class reader, _Common Ground_
(current edition). It talks about the author's search for a powerful
role model to resist the Asian male "servant" roles that were prevalent
on film & tv in his youth.
