...probably won't notice any butterflies in Puli this week. The little town in central Taiwan has long been known for its butterflies as well as its Buddhist temples, its scenery and its rice wine. If you could forget that Puli, along with the rest of Taiwan, sits directly atop the juncture of two great tectonic plates, the town would seem idyllic...
...beginning, I had hoped that we could still find a peaceful solution. I even went to China to meet Chairman Mao. We had several good meetings. In 1955, as I was returning from China, I met a Chinese gentleman along the way. He was returning from Tibet. I recall telling him sincerely, "While I was coming on this road to China, I was full of suspicion. Now I am coming back, full of hope." But soon that disappeared...

Want to know how desperate...

"For a long time this campaign rightfully ?- and then wrongfully ?- thought the right strategy was to engage Bush," one Gore aide told the New York Times. "Now we have to acknowledge reality." The question is, will Bradley play along? Gore is a proven debater, having aced his stare-downs with Ross Perot and Jack Kemp, and a toe-to-toe could be his best chance to retake the momentum. Bradley, meanwhile, has campaigned as the lanky, unconventional, enigmatic outsider, and he?s in no hurry to lift the veil...
