...balloons on cars," says Walters, who has since moved with her family to Florida. "A lot of people were like, 'Wow, are you serious, we waste four million gallons of gas every day?' And they said they'd pump their tires up. Only, like, one or two people just drove away and the balloons fell...
President Bush's nomination of Ben S. Bernanke to replace Fed chairman Alan Greenspan seems - so far, at least - mercifully free of controversy. The U.S. stock market rallied on the announcement, as foreign-exchange buyers drove up the value of the dollar against the Euro and other currencies.

...After that, things got ugly. Officials started the impeachment process, then stopped it. In early August, residents surrounded their village committee building to prevent the removal of account books they said would prove corruption. On Sept. 12, police drove the demonstrators away. Roughly 30 people were arrested and 10 remain in custody. Several dozen "hooligans" that Taishi residents believe are paid by local officials now terrorize the village threatening to attack anyone who, like Lu, tries to enter or leave. "Now they're there every day, intimidating people into removing their names from the impeachment petition," Lu says. The village...
