Tong “Max” Chen ’04, a student from China, said he felt a firm response was called for from the U.S. But he also cautioned that an intransigent foreign policy may be partly to blame for what has already happened...
...group, your answer could well be a new, minimally invasive procedure called nucleoplasty. In less than an hour, most patients walk out of the doctor's office--yes, walk--and are free of much of their pain. To be sure, nucleoplasty is not for everyone. According to Dr. Yung Chen, director of the Stanford Interventional Spine Center in Stanford, Calif., the ideal candidate is someone who has only a mildly herniated disk--meaning the damaged disk hasn't completely ruptured or extruded too far outside its normal confines within the spinal column...
Although more than 2,500 nucleoplasties have already been performed (at an average cost of $5,000 to $7,000), Dr. Chen readily admits that long-term, controlled studies are still needed to judge their usefulness. Still, he's pleased with the response of his patients so far. On average, they report a 70% reduction in their pain. And within one week, most are able to begin a physical-therapy program to bolster the procedure's relieving effects...

Chinese directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have succeeded on the international art-house circuit, but their movies are either banned in China because of sensitive political content (the fate of To Live) or they've failed with domestic audiences because of their musty themes (The Emperor and the Assassin). Feng makes the light-hearted comedies that draw the big Chinese crowds. Unlike Zhang and Chen, Feng eschews sweeping epic dramas with...
