After some initial hesitation, the ruling Communist Party's leadership moved quickly to contain any anger sparked by travel chaos, launching a nationwide mobilization dubbed the "war on snow havoc." Premier Wen Jiabao made three trips in a week to areas hard hit by the storms, apologizing to stranded travelers, consoling families of workers killed clearing power lines, and visiting residents of towns that had been without power for more than 10 days. "This is very important, to allow...
