...Likes to spend several weeks a year in Saint-Tropez, France, and calls the Four Seasons in Chiang Mai, Thailand, her "favorite place in the world." Once owned two small dogs named Ozzy Osbourne and Rudy Giuliani. (See pictures of Elin and Tiger Woods on Golf.com...
...accuse Beijing of nursing a grudge. Diplomatically overlooking the fact that Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek took 2,972 crates of the very finest imperial treasures with him when he fled the mainland to Taiwan in 1949 - priceless items that have never been returned - the People's Republic has shipped another exquisite cull of artwork to the island. There are just 37 pieces this time (comprising Qing dynasty paintings, vases, seals and other artifacts), and they are strictly on loan from Beijing's Palace Museum. But the gesture is unprecedented, emotionally charged and heralded as one of the fruits...
...this is still Americanized Chinese food that's being translated to Mexicans. In 1993, Ruth's Chris Steak House franchisee Paul Fleming (his initials make up the P.F.) founded P.F. Chang's China Bistro in Scottsdale, Ariz., with the help of Chinese-American consultant Philip Chiang (Chang was derived from Chiang).

You'll find many of them in unexpected places, like Alpharetta, Ga., and Rogers...

In the film, Stuart, as well as the U.S. State Department, is lukewarm toward Chiang and the KMT - reflecting, perhaps, Beijing's desire to maintain the momentum of its improving diplomatic ties with Washington. (Last November, the Chinese acceded to a four-decade-old request by Stuart's family to have his ashes buried in a cemetery in Hangzhou, near Shanghai...
...Political rulers everywhere rewrite and use history for their ends. But as China looms ever larger in the global consciousness, anything we can glean about its leadership is especially valuable. There's one moral in Founding, however, that Beijing probably did not intend. Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek's son, is briefing his father about his fight to rid the KMT of corruption and injustice. Chiang praises his son's idealism - and gently advises him to desist so as not to undermine the KMT at a critical juncture in the civil war. "If you go ahead," says Chiang...
