...Melveny is the biggest international firm in Shanghai, owing to Chao's foresight a decade ago. Most big U.S. law firms focused on Hong Kong, and O'Melveny opened a branch there too. But Chao, who had spent a year teaching international law in Beijing and Shanghai in 1985, recognized early on that having a big presence on the mainland would be a competitive advantage. The Shanghai operation opened in 1996, and a Beijing branch was added in 2002, as soon as the government gave the green light. "It was clear that by being there, we could see what...

They were familiar with the public's passionate political differences and dealt with that in the document we so treasure: the Constitution. Carol A. Duda Grove City...
...managed to deal with these changes in creating the Department of Homeland Security and in adopting an offensive—not defensive—stance against terrorists under uncertain and quickly changing times. The fact that Bush and members of his administration planned to invade Iraq before 9/11 was foresight that the Clinton administration did not have—that Saddam was an irresponsible dictator who violated U.N. resolutions and was a threat to the United States (a fact that even Senator Kerry agreed about several times prior to our invasion of Iraq). And, luckily, Bush is heading an overhaul...
