The city is "totally underappreciated," says Merle Hinrichs, chairman of Global Sources, a Hong Kong publisher and provider of Internet-based product-sourcing and marketing...

Against the backdrop of mounting partisan fervor, the political landscape will likely be ripe for impassioned back-and-forth. “It’s going to be a pretty politically charged spring with lots of jockeying on both sides of the political aisle because you don’t have a president or vice-president running for reelection,” Lamont said. “I hope...
