...Maybe. Younger Japanese have lived just as long with an economically powerful China as an impoverished one. Catering to this crowd, Morning Musume, a Japanese version of the Spice Girls, added two new singers to its nine-woman line-up this year. Both are Chinese. The move was no doubt geared toward attracting a Chinese audience, but the group's producer is equally keen on maintaining a Japanese fan base. "I had older relatives who told me not to come to Japan because of what it did to China during the war," says Li Chun, 19, one of Morning Musume...
Some adversaries had good words for Chávez.

Hutchinson said police were working to authenticate the photograph. After acknowledging that it was a potential linchpin in the investigation, he cautioned not to presume its legitimacy before thorough vetting. "We all know it is not too difficult...
...Without doubt, this is an unusual case," said Hutchinson, who issued an appeal for help in piecing together Darwin's whereabouts during his absence. "There will be people out there who know exactly where he has been, where he has been living and what he has been doing," he said. Depending on what offense Darwin is charged with, a fraud conviction could earn him up to ten years, says Russell Hayes, a spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service.
