...Even Beijing seems confused. President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao have tried to color themselves as more responsive to the masses than their imperious predecessor Jiang Zemin, the man who anointed Tung. But at the same time, they've been careful not to cede too much authority. Hong Kong threatens to undo that careful balance between listening to what people want and caving in to their demands. Caught flat-footed by the scope of the protests and the discontent in Hong Kong, Beijing has blacked out on the mainland all news in local Chinese-language media of the historic...
...quality of movies was way off this year. The festival jury, which was led by French director Patrice Ch?reau and included Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai and Chinese actor-director Jiang Wen, deemed only four films worthy of prizes?the lowest number in memory. They also went out of their way to reward movies that were moderate in tone (except for Elephant): the winners included a genial comedy-drama about a dying professor (French Canada's The Barbarian Invasions), a minimalist study of two cousins getting on each other's nerves (the Turkish Uzak), and the one Asian awardee, At Five...

In the meantime, the hospital has been fined $75,000 for its failure to report SARS cases earlier, and it remains closed. As for nurse Wang, she claims to feel no guilt about leaving her post. "Yes, we have a duty of care to our patients. But built into that duty there is a precondition that our safety needs are being...
...world have been affected, but our future will continue brightly." To show just how serious Shanghai is about keeping the virus at bay, the municipal government earlier this month mandated a limited quarantine on anyone coming from a SARS-infected area?a policy that runs counter to Premier Wen Jiabao's vow last month not to implement any extreme quarantine measures. But Shanghai's quarantine policy has not been rigorously enforced, as dozens of visitors from Beijing and Hong Kong continue to disperse into the city without a trace. Still, locals seem to think that Shanghai can beat...
