Kennedy School alum Robert B. Zoellick, now the deputy secretary of state, returned to his old stomping grounds last night and defended the Bush administration’s stance on a controversial seaport deal at an Institute of Politics forum. Zoellick’s remarks came amid a nationwide uproar over a transaction that would leave several key U.S. port terminals—including New Orleans and Newark, N.J.—in the hands of a Dubai state-owned firm. The Dubai firm, DP World, bid $6.8 billion to buy the British company that currently operates the ports...
...Beijing, where he will meet with the leaders of a nation which, however much its economic future may be linked to that of the U.S., is certainly not an ally.

The other countries taking part?China, India, Japan and South Korea?are responsible for 48% of the world's greenhouse...
...advice to the White House, it would be that President Bush should be his own ambassador more. He has a combination of personality, insight and charm that is disarmingly refreshing. What about your own relationship with the Americans? You shrugged off the jibes from former U.S. trade representative Robert Zoellick about your style, but it must have stung. I couldn't understand it. Why should critical policy issues be turned into character references? The U.S.-E.U. relationship is a billion-dollar-a-day relationship. The disputes between us are a fraction of the total, and have to be seen...
