...There is a lot more oil and gas where that came from, if Beijing can bring itself to depend on Moscow as a supplier. That isn't as easy as proximity might suggest. The two countries have never trusted each other. But economics now dictates that historical enmity be put aside. With the collapse of oil prices and the credit crisis, Russia needs cash. China needs fossil fuels; it needs them from a variety of suppliers far into the future - and it has the money to pay for them. Half of the country's massive national savings of $2 trillion...
...others will want to listen to him. Lula was one of the few leaders with whom both U.S. President George W. Bush and Venezuela's Chávez had decent relations. Lula told TIME he has "high expectations" that Obama will turn "a new page" on Latin America and "put aside traditional U.S. insistence on a narrow, one-sided approach that focuses almost exclusively on free trade and the drug war."

(See page 54 for our book critic's take on the film adaptation.) And it continues to expand its base. Last fall Gibbons put out the latte-table book Watching the Watchmen. The story is also available on DVD in "moving comic" form--very limited animation of the drawings, with a narrator reading the text--that runs about twice the length of the 2-hr. 40-min. Snyder version. (Read an interview with Watchmen...
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs crept up to that line--even put his toe over--as he tried to capitalize on the anti-Obama declarations of talk-show leviathan Rush Limbaugh. In January and again at a recent gathering of conservatives in Washington, Limbaugh pointedly voiced his hopes that Barack Obama's economic proposals will fail...
