...Idol for popularizing karaoke in America. What was once a dreaded barroom activity is now almost hip. But we had talent search shows before American Idol and they didn't help karaoke. What about Star Search? The thing with Star Search is that the people always seemed to be sort of creepy.

He would sit down twice a year with his Chinese counterparts and discuss big-picture issues. These weren't negotiations. They were part of a "strategic economic dialogue" - "sort of like the G2," as a former Treasury official puts it. They were a way to flatter China, the world's rising economic power, and to enlist its cooperation on big, global issues like increasing the use of renewable energy and protecting the environment.
