...World section this week, in a major story and four pages of color photographs, examines another sort of Women's Liberation: the rapid rise of African women to positions of prominence in many emerging nations. The reporting was largely the work of Correspondent James Wilde, who took his wife along on many of his journeys - "not that she didn't trust me. I simply needed her feminine intuition to help under stand my subject. African women are very elusive...

Huang normally smothers his meals in red peppers (the Hupei version...
MOST outsiders would assume that Wall Street, the citadel of American capitalism, is a model of efficiency and sound management. It is nothing of the sort. In fact, Wall Street is an avenue filled with managerial cracks and potholes. Nothing has so plainly revealed its weaknesses as the recent steep decline in stocks, which has cut almost $200 billion from the value of shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange alone. Simultaneously with this decline, and largely as a result of it, the U.S. securities system is undergoing a series of fundamental changes that are bound to affect...
