...TIME: Does Beijing understand and appreciate how complex a society Hong Kong is today, with so many competing interests? TSANG: They understand it very well. In fact, they understand it so well that they are a bit worried whether we are able to come to a consensus, which they are keen to have. When we achieve universal suffrage, it is so important that the majority of Hong Kong people support it, that it does not undermine Hong Kong's position as an international financial center, and that it not undermine our good relations with the mainland.

...Yale’s Beinecke Plaza, and Yalies are taking turns filming a poorly edited video, dubbed a “Taunt,” that now sits on the Web site for the Yale Student Taskforce for Environmental Partnership. It’s understandable that Yalies would go to such lengths to taunt fair Harvard. Since last May, they’ve had yet another insecurity to compensate for: in the 2006 RecycleMania, a nationwide intercollegiate waste reduction competition, Harvard trounced Yale in five of six recycling categories. Now, five weeks into the 2007 recycling competition, Yale trails...
