...CHINA Plain Talk Negotiations between American and Chinese officials ended without agreement on the return of a U.S. spy plane or responsibility for its midair collision with a Chinese fighter jet. China showed video footage of what it called "very convincing" proof that the U.S. plane was to blame for the incident and continued to demand an end to U.S. surveillance flights off China's coast. The U.S. said dangerous flying by the Chinese pilot caused the accident, in which the pilot died. Tension was increased further with a display of military prowess by Taiwan, ahead of a looming...
...example. The role of government in determining quality of life is large, but not quantifiable; if children fight with their parents, if pop music has become derivative and commercialized, if Hollywood films pander to our baser instincts while better movies are made in Europe, our government is partially to blame.

...blame OPEC - at least not completely. The oil-producer cartel hasn't stuck with its pledge to cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day in March, and analysts don't expect the 1 million-barrel reduction promised for April to be as steep as advertised either. Crude oil inventories in the U.S. are up nearly 5 percent from a year ago, to 313 million barrels - but gasoline inventories stand at 192.8 million barrels, a drop of 6.2 percent from this time last year and the lowest springtime level since...
