...White House wants to conceal any outward appearance of striving for victory while working robustly behind the scenes to do just that. No one will have to maintain this balance more than the new resident behind the podium. In 2000, Bush's team tried to keep the press at bay, much as it does in the White House. But when disaster struck in the form of John McCain's devastating victory in the New Hampshire primary, Bush and his aides were forced to play the game the way McCain did, giving access to the candidate and mixing it up with...

But Shanghai's quarantine policy has not been rigorously enforced, as dozens...
...sudden viral surge has been a setback for Chen's administration. Until last week, politicians had been patting themselves on the back for keeping the disease largely at bay. Officials were only too happy to compare their handling of the outbreak with the situation in mainland China, where authoritarian bureaucrats initially tried to cover up the existence of the disease, only to see the number of infections explode?mistakes that cost the mainland's top health official and the mayor of Beijing their jobs.
