...Whatever progress Beijing may make assumes, of course, that it can complete $20 billion in stadiums on what is now farmland, a $12 billion water-treatment system that is still a blueprint and an air-cleanup program to purify an atmosphere so filled with soot that the skies periodically rain mud. Beijing has no history of building such facilities effectively. Its most high-profile construction project of the past decade, Oriental Plaza in the city center, was so rife with corruption that an investigation brought down Beijing's party chief and nearly the whole city leadership. The I.O.C...
Szlanta's strategy of specialization has proved to be smart. While other shipbuilders tend to work on variations of a standard hull, Gdynia designs from scratch and works closely with clients to add special features that they want. The blueprint that won the Weyerhaeuser contract is a gantry-crane "open hatch" design that many shipyards simply weren't equipped to produce. The ships will carry lumber and paper to the Far East and return filled with cars, snowmobiles and industrial equipment. The built-in retractable cranes will allow the ships to load and unload quickly, even at ports with inferior...

...adequately explain to Taiwan his vision for the country. And the country, despite its pop-cultural frenzy, desperately needs a blueprint to climb out of its economic morass. The Taipei Stock Exchange is down 40% since Chen was elected, and joblessness is at a 23-year high at 3.9%. The Taiwanese for decades forgave the KMT for a multitude of sins?even the imposition of martial law?as long as its stewardship kept economic growth pumping away. Chen cannot expect the same degree of patience in a floundering economy. He needs the people on his side. He needs a legislative...
