Retired Air Force General Michael Carns withdrew his name from consideration to become the next CIA director. The here-we-go-again reason: possible illegalities concerning household arrangements. Carns said the FBI had informed him that his decision in the late 1980s to let a young Filipino move to the U.S. with Carns' family may have violated labor and immigration laws. Worse, said the general, his family had had a falling out with the young man, who is making unspecified accusations that might embarrass Carns and the Administration if they come to light.

Burton had not been in China long when a similar street demonstration occurred -- with tragically different results -- at Tiananmen Square. But in quieter moments, Beijing's blanket of smog awakened in Burton...
...here's the response. You are a bunch of shameless whores who sold your integrity to a bunch of jerks. You printed a completely unfair attack on a Harvard student who is among the most progressive, sensitive, and understanding people I know. Derek Ho firmly supports the celebration of Filipino culture, and Perspective firmly supports Derek...
