...about the public trust that you hold. Or at least held. Valarie S. Zeeck Tacoma, Washington, U.S. Time did the right thing. As a lawyer and a Democrat, I wish the Supreme Court had heard Time's appeal and protected the confidentiality of its reporter's sources. Still, I applaud Pearlstine for making the principled decision to follow the rule of law, much as he believes the law should be different. We don't have to like laws, orders or rulings. But unless we are anarchists, we should follow them. Rich McLeod Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. As a college journalism...
...applaud Krauthammer's piece. As a student in the South, I encounter blind rejection of evolutionary theory on a daily basis. How often have I heard, "You really believe we evolved from monkeys?"

Admittedly, a 2.1% revaluation of the renminbi stops well short of the 27.5% adjustment proposed by several U.S. Senators. Their bill, which would impose damaging tariffs on Chinese imports, had garnered surprising bipartisan traction in Congress and could well have been passed by the upper chamber later this year. The China bashers certainly did not get anything close to what they were...
...Snow was not the only one to applaud. China's move received qualified praise from Bangkok to Tokyo to Washington, where U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan called it "a good first step." It's unclear whether Beijing acted because of American pressure or in spite of it. Zhou Xiaochuan, head of China's central bank, said the shift was made because the dollar had become too volatile, so it was in China's own long-term interest to change. Whatever the reasons, the decision is expected to smooth strained relations between China and the U.S.?good timing, given that...
