The Decline of the New England "WASP-ocracy"

Here.

Hawaii and New England have many ties, mainly through the missionaries. Hiram Bingham was a leader of missionaries to Hawaii. His grandson Hiram Bingham III not only discovered Machu Picchu, but later became a U.S. Senator.

Nobody cares about the WASPs any more. I read a lot about Hiram Bingham around the time I went to Machu Picchu.
