...Asia, whether you're window-shopping, daydreaming in a bus or cruising the Internet, you're likely to see her face and the luxurious mouth that is its trademark. She's the poster girl for French fashion house Lanvin, beer babe for San Miguel and pitchwoman for Lux Soap, Coca-Cola (Japan) and Red Earth cosmetics (O.K., that contract just lapsed). In a six-year career, the 25-year-old Taiwanese seductress has made no less than 45 movies. One of her first, Sex and Zen II, is a soft-porn classic, the Emmanuel of Asia. Two of her films...

"Conventioneers swarm to the Atlanta strip clubs because no matter where they live they probably don't have this honored combination of nude dancing and alcohol," says attorney Alan Begner, who represents nearly...

His election last year was a political earthquake, in part because it broke the 71-year-long one-party rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or P.R.I.
