...enemy, then it is likely to become one. China is perfectly entitled to its liberalization. My preference was to seek a lasting agreement because the importance of our relationship demands it. This is a strong signal that China takes its international trading responsibilities seriously and that Europe respects China's right to benefit from trade liberalization. We will face some difficult issues with China over full implementation of its wto commitments, its obligation to open its markets, to reduce barriers to trade and to respect and enforce intellectual property rights. On this, Europe and America have a shared agenda...
...visited 70 Chinese cities in the past six months, convincing Communist Party secretaries and provincial governors alike that opening more Wal-Marts is a "win-win-win-win-type situation."

"Many times he was right; the department was wrong." In one such case, says Lewis, state lawmakers resisted efforts to ease the regulation of insurance premiums paid by big business; Greenberg argued that these were sophisticated clients who could protect themselves. "He would absolutely get in your face," says Lewis. "But he was right...

You farmed for a living. You went to work on the railroad for a living. My family couldn't imagine going to college--and especially spending money to go to college--for anything except doctoring, lawyering or engineering. They made it very difficult for me to ever see my father, and they forbade me from ever talking about being an actor...
