...years. But the glass artists are every bit as bold and experimental, and equally capable of referencing international trends while retaining distinctly Chinese characteristics. "Our traditions are different from those in other parts of the world," says Beijing-based artist Guan Donghai, referring to the Chinese preference for casting glass instead of blowing it. "They give our glass a typical Chinese style." This is visible in Guan's own work, where elegant kiln-cast sculptures recall the primal forms of William Morris but represent specifically Chinese objects such as swords and ancient city gates.

Bush wants to show, says counselor Ed Gillespie, that, "we have done this kind of transformative work before and the benefits to America made the sacrifices worthwhile." Those arguments intend to capitalize on momentum created by the reports of recent military progress on the ground in Iraq, and to blunt criticism of the lack of political...
