...because of what it isn't. The world's renewed love affair with the nation has blossomed just as many nations are growing wary of the rising influence of Asia's other superpower: China. Unlike Japan, China has done little to mask its global natural-resources grab. As a result, Japan outranked China in a June survey of soft-power effectiveness in six countries by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. Far from China eclipsing Japan, as many once thought, the Middle Kingdom's emergence has actually reawakened international admiration of its neighbor. "There's a strong perception that China...
...with Joe Klein that Obama's win presents a significant swing to the left, and from the bottom up [Nov. 17]. But I do not think the country is ready for an activist government with a much more liberal agenda than we have seen in recent decades.

The results are evident: In 2007, 41.4 percent of motor-vehicle fatalities in the state were related to alcohol, the third-highest of any state in the country and significantly higher than the national rate of 31.7 percent. Drunk-driving penalties in Wisconsin and elsewhere should be significantly more severe, and AWARE...
...year. This year has been an unbelievable comeback.”The road will be long and has only recently become more tested. Despite the successes of former Crimson players, such as Ryan Fitzpatrick ’05 and Matt Birk ’98, the more frequent result of shooting for the pros ends in heartbreak. Even for all-time Ivy League rushing record-holder Clifton Dawson ’07, a brief stint proved to be all the spotlight the NFL would give him.Where those before them have failed, the senior duo believes it may have the ability...
