...Most of you are a mob with no trace of good morals. We will continue to fight you as long as we have weapons in our hands." ATTRIBUTED TO OSAMA BIN LADEN, al-Qaeda leader, in a message to Americans broadcast on al-Jazeera; a reference to a $450 billion U.S. budget deficit suggests it was taped after July...

Beijing launched its first satellite in 1970--which broadcast back to Earth the Maoist anthem The East Is Red--but that program suffered a string of disastrous explosions in the mid-1990s.

Even during the heralded manned space mission, there was a reminder that the central government remains authoritarian and insecure. China refused to air the liftoff live, lest state TV broadcast a midair disaster. But, for now, the rest of the world seems willing to share in the internationalist spirit that inspired astronaut Yang to hold up that little blue flag...
