...airlines. With passenger traffic already down 9% from 2000, they're now caught in a nasty squabble over "open skies" agreements that would widen competition on lucrative transatlantic routes. E.U. courts banned the individually negotiated deals between 11 member states and the U.S., saying they should be arranged en bloc. When the U.S. appeared to undercut that decision by offering to sweeten the deals, François Lamoureux, the Commission's director-general for transport, threatened last week to drag into court any state that accepts.

"Self-reliance and financial independence are the most crucial things for the Chinese intellectuals who used to rely on politics to survive," says Qian Ning, son of China's Vice Premier Qian Qichen and author of the best-selling Chinese Students En-counter America. "That's why I don't want to be a full-time author."
