...Bush will meet with Hu at the APEC summit in Chile this month. The meeting will dwell on economics, a bone of contention between Washington and Beijing that Bush will have to address. China enjoyed a trade surplus with the U.S. of nearly $99 billion through August, and American industrial lobbies accuse China's low-cost labor force of stealing American jobs. Trade conflicts could strike early, as quotas on China's textile exports will end on Dec. 31. While Beijing is looking forward to selling more silks and underwear, the U.S. still enjoys "surge-protection" clauses that...
...While he is often described as a thinker, he's not one to dwell on the abstract. He's more of an analyst and problem solver: as Americans say, a policy wonk. Still, several themes have endured.

Though Johnston had surgery for breast cancer in her 90s and a heart attack so minor she never noticed it, she has generally enjoyed superb health...
...first relocated to a West Bank settlement. He says he felt a strong connection to the ancient Israelites, who entered Canaan via nearby Jericho, too. Despite the difficulties of learning a new language in the middle of their high school studies, his children also approve. Ilanit, 20, doesn't dwell on the question of whether she feels French or Israeli. "In France, we were the Jews," she says, with a shrug. "In Israel, we are the French." After five years, Zerah doesn't miss France much. He had little choice there over where to live - he had to be within...
