...S.S.A.'s straight-talking leader is Colonel Yawd Serk, 47, who wears a dark suit and city shoes, resembling a bureaucrat rather than a rebel commander. He gives TIME a tour of nearby Gon Kha hill, scene of the recent fighting. When the rain stops, it can be reached by a narrow dirt road, which Yawd Serk negotiates in a blue Isuzu pickup truck, with his revolver tucked into the dashboard. Linked by deep, zigzag trenches, Gon Kha's bunkers look down upon a handful of fortified U.W.S.A. positions, the closest about 500 meters away. Around 800 U.W.S.A. soldiers charged...

...Head of the city's Urban Planning Commission and a key player in preparations for the 2008 Olympics, Huang is taking on the country's stickiest development problems-migration, pollution, corruption-and its deepest ambitions: to be modern, prosperous and globally respected.

...myths of Watergate look a bit different now that we have a name and a biography to attach to Deep Throat. The real man had scores to settle as a thwarted bureaucrat as well as principles to defend. He is at once a narrative hook for a complicated story of political intrigue and a marketable commodity in this age of celebrity. Yet to look at his record is to realize a deeper truth about Watergate: it was less about one character than about the process working the way it should. And as everyone has long accepted, it wasn...

...luck, corruption or cleverness. China's "peaceful rise" is a brand that's been pitched in the same manner as a multinational mining company would push its green credentials. "Ambassador Fu is out and about and very focused on China's image," says an Australian bureaucrat. "But their methods have been heavy-handed on Falun Gong - they've given them far too much attention." On Taiwan, says another official, the Chinese have been emphatic in public and assiduous in working the back channels. If anything, the charm offensive has worked so well that usually robust Australians - afraid to give offense...
