...mortified to learn), some senior economic officials in the new Administration have made it plain that they have little use for SEDs. Some view them as pointless, time-consuming gabfests that accomplished little from the U.S. perspective (which is exactly why the Chinese loved them). For the Obama crowd, the SEDs may be DOA, though one senior official tells TIME that there will no doubt be some other configuration for Cabinet-level talks between Beijing and Washington...

Not the prayers and tears, the unstoppable smiles and barely controlled giddiness of what may have been the happiest crowd ever to grace the nation's capital. A man named Barack Hussein Obama is now the President of the United States. He came to us as the ultimate outsider in a nation of outsiders - the son of an African visitor and a white woman from Kansas - and he has turned...
