...ties with the Chinese government and risk a devastating setback to both strategic and commercial interests? Neither, said the President, who is something of an old China hand, having headed the U.S. mission to Beijing in 1974-75. Bush tried, as he put it, "to find a proper, prudent balance" -- to toe-dance between the horns of the dilemma...
...behind Bush's schedule, so what? The important thing is that the U.S. is fully committed to quick agreement on deep reductions. Bush began talking about conventional arms during the election campaign and now seeks to portray this week's drama as the logical outcome of a "prudent" process.

He espouses the solid, old-fashioned idea of buying good companies cheap and sticking with them long-term, with the added fillip of using...
...originator of the film noir genre and a technical pioneer whose influence can be detected in dozens of films. He even notes that the Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes has acknowledged that the structure of his book The Death of Artemio Cruz was lifted from Citizen Kane. But Brady is prudent about using the word genius, an encomium more freely handed out at Academy Award gatherings than at Nobel Prize ceremonies...
