...persuaded to go along. Beijing has already cut off non-humanitarian aid to other rogue nations like Zimbabwe. As with Burma, Robert Mugabe's regime stained China's international image; Beijing also fretted that unrest against the Mugabe government might spark local anger at Chinese interests. Chinese diplomats privately admit that Beijing fears that violent instability in Burma might threaten Beijing's investments - in October, with Burmese resentment of China soaring, gunmen fired on the Chinese consulate in Mandalay. Embargo commitments by those Asian giants would push the junta's other weapons suppliers to fall in line, or risk standing...
...Currier Masters Shahram and Laura Khoshbin admit that the circumstances of their initial meeting might sound strange: in 1985, Shahram was a guest lecturer for a chemistry course that Laura was taking as a “special” student—she had already completed her bachelor’s degree at the time. “The ‘special’ is important,” says Shahram, laughing, “Or it sounds a bit funny… But maybe not.

...think old-timey machines, flickering projector light, and skeletons in top hats. The song is shameless in its attempts to inspire, with soaring lyrics like “Everybody gets knocked down / How quick are you gonna get up?”, but I am only slightly embarrassed to admit that it has been added to my YouTube playlist. That’s the thing, though. As gorgeous and ornate as the video is, it’s the song that really matters. And a cheesy pop song works better in a dorm room or car radio than...
