...problem. Basically, he gathers most of his flying column figures in a room and sets them to yelling at one another about whether the half-loaf of freedom offered by the treaty with the Brits can satisfy the national hunger for full-scale independence. He gives the ameliorists a fair hearing, but most decide to return to the opposition. Despite the impassioned rhetoric of the meeting, it is, admittedly, a stage wait.

Hong Kong's system is intended to have a strong Chief Executive, but the top official cannot be a member of a political party, which means that he has to build support from parties with often competing agendas, like the pro-business Liberal Party and the DAB, which champions Hong Kong's working class.

It’s understandable that Yalies would go to such lengths to taunt fair Harvard. Since last May, they’ve had yet another insecurity to compensate for: in the 2006 RecycleMania, a nationwide intercollegiate waste reduction competition, Harvard trounced Yale in five of six recycling categories. Now, five weeks into the 2007 recycling competition, Yale trails us once again. This year, RecycleMania...
