...have termed China's return to "dignity," a reference to the country's re-emergence as a great power in Asia. But even though other Asian states welcome economic opportunities offered by China's rise, the vast majority prefer the preservation of Pax Americana. The American-backed order has hitherto offered protection for smaller players by binding more powerful states (including the U.S. itself) to agreed rules of behavior and processes of dispute resolution...

For his new show, Darshan, running through June 2010, Bartabas has completely transformed the Zingaro arena, hitherto evocative of an Elizabethan theater-in-the-round. Now it is the audience that is at the center, arranged upon a pyramidal seating structure. Encircled by a riding track and massive screens upon which shadows are projected, the structure gently rotates throughout the show, the public in effect becoming captives...

...Given the two sides' sharply different ideas on the end point of their mutual journey, it's not easy to agree even on substantial "confidence building" measures. Iran appears to be open to greater safeguards and oversight of its ongoing nuclear work, like opening its hitherto secret enrichment facility under construction at Qum to inspection for the first time on Oct. 25.
