...putrefying bodies lining the road. But the news doesn't faze the two friends who have trekked there by train, car and now, finally, on foot to help victims of the Wenchuan earthquake. Dressed in white T shirts reading "I [heart] China," the men are determined to reach the core of the devastation. "After we saw the news of the disaster, we decided we had to help," says Wu Guanglei, a 36-year-old high school physics teacher from Zigong, a town located 190 miles (300 km) to the south. "We Chinese people are growing closer and closer together," adds...
...Shiva is Suri's own pachyderm of a child. It's a huge and lumbering novel that took seven years to write and leaves hardly any ground unfurrowed.

Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan argued in the Financial Times on March 16 that “we will never have the perfect model of risk.” Amidst a paradigm-shifting financial crisis originated at the core of financial markets, Greenspan felt the need to remind the audience of the FT that despite the amazing complexity of existing models and their relative success for many years, the very fact that they are an abstraction of reality makes it impossible for them to flawlessly predict where the market will go tomorrow...
...more difficult task for Obama, however, might be uniting Florida's hard-core Democrats behind him, starting with convincing them that he's as passionate as Clinton about seating their 210 delegates (only 67 of which Obama won) at the Denver convention in August. Florida Democratic leaders like Gelber and Wexler insist Obama is indeed battling to seat the delegates and that Florida will rally behind him. After Obama's visit this week, Gelber argues, the state's Clinton-Obama tensions will dissolve: "You're going to see everyone pivot and look toward November." But Obama can't waste...
