Shultz's first display of irritability came during a discussion last month with U.S. businessmen in Peking. They complained that European governments did more than Washington to foster trade with China. If trade relations were better elsewhere, Shultz asked tartly, "why don't you move to Western Europe...
...mortal Chamberlaynes display stunning lack of personality without becoming caricatures. King is particularly apt in capturing a half-tipsy and harassed post-party mood during his early scenes.

Industrial robots, which look like giant dentist drills, can be programmed to do extremely complex tasks; they also average $1 million apiece...
...swastikas, drawn in magic marker, are the second such display of anti-Semitism at the Law School this year, and Mirchin said yesterday that he is upset. "I feel that a lot of the inhibitions about being insensitive to Jews that existed for a long time after World War II no longer exist," he said, adding. "In a certain way, anti-Semitism is okay...
