...infinite space that surrounds our planet. The Russian cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov, the first man to walk in space, wrote, “Before me—blackness: an inky-black sky studded with stars that glowed but did not twinkle; they seemed immobilized. Space itself appears as a bottomless pit. Such intensity of black does not exist on earth.” When Tambellini read these words in 1965, he realized that he has already been striving for a similar effect with his art and films.

Sinuous dragons make their abodes in the hills, from which bracing floods of chi allegedly flow, accumulating in the sea in great reservoirs of bottomless luck.

...statement reacting to Al Qaeda's provocative remarks. Beijing has remained on the sidelines in the war on terror, watching the U.S. and other European nations become mired militarily in Afghanistan. But China's profile in the Muslim world still grows with its economic ambitions and interests.
