...only capitalist city or financial center in China, is not the biggest port, is no longer a manufacturing hub or a unique political anomaly in a postimperial age.

But it lost its bearings when the bureaucracy moved to Brasilia, the bankers moved to S?o Paulo, and slums and drugs trumped...

For that reason it is a prime target for terrorists. Last week they struck with a vengeance, setting off a car bomb that killed a 19-year old airman on temporary duty and the wife of another airman assigned to a medical airlift squadron. Twenty-one people were injured...
