...manga, taking the low-key activities of everyday life and depicting them in the highly detailed drawing style more commonly associated with European comix. Each of the book's 18 chapters depicts a nameless salaryman on a different stroll through the city and countryside. The first chapter sets the formula for ones following. The man pops out to take a break from moving into a new house. Amidst tableaus of sunning housecats, tall trees and fish swimming under bridges the man happens upon a bird watcher. They look at birds together. By the time the man returns home...

And "two systems" means that the PRC will play the part of central government while Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan would be local governments...
...leak out through senior officials that India would never consider substantially re-drawing its boundaries, as Musharraf suggested. Former Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh said: "Mapmaking has to stop in South Asia. Such attempts would not be acceptable [even] in disguise." Still, it's a start, and Musharraf's formula was the first time a Pakistani leader has abandoned the key demand of a referendum for Kashmiris. If nothing else, his proposal should give momentum to talks later this month in New Delhi between India's and Pakistan's Prime Ministers. Musharraf's "food for thought," as the President described...
