...thousands of soldiers lost their lives. Why aren't we creating elaborate new memorials for them? Is it because most of the soldiers involved in that conflict were not Americans? Igor Tyolgovatsor Budapest After the Rebellion "Two faces of china" [June 14] reported how the 1989 protests and their brutal suppression by the government are rapidly fading from the Chinese people's memory. That is too bad. China is still haunted by the ghosts of Tiananmen Square, as the Communist Party continues to ignore the people's best interests. Compared with the democratic movements in Taiwan, the 1989 Tiananmen uprising...
...rivalry among no-frills flyers is already getting brutal. Udom Tantiprasongchai, chief executive of Orient Thai Airlines, says fierce competition from AirAsia and flag carrier Thai Airways has forced him to slash the fare on his One-Two-Go budget service from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to less than $25, about 30% lower than he had planned.

Without a word of explanation, he goes into rehab for alcohol addiction and does not return for 11 months. Ulrich and Hammett watch their ex-bassist's new band, Echobrain, and wonder if Metallica is washed up. Ulrich is vilified for taking on the band's file-swapping fans. And when Hetfield finally returns, he tries his best not to scowl at the cameras. "Every...
...pointing out here is the less-than-paranoid observation that our president might be at least as interested in his own money as in any higher calling—and, Fahrenheit tells us, the same goes for a lot of corporations. This case is accompanied by brutal war footage and stark images of poverty at home, showing us the human toll taken by the self-interested actions of bigwigs...
