...next step, both sides must take a leap of faith. It's great that Beijing and Ma get along, but Ma won't be around forever, perhaps not even for long - he has taken a hit at home over the hurting economy and, more recently, over his government's less-than-stellar Morakot relief efforts. While Beijing has a big stake in Ma's political survival, it should start looking beyond the current President and the KMT and build bridges certainly to moderate DPP politicians.

Each CD comes with the original album art, a booklet of new information and rare photographs of the quartet and a minidocumentary on the making of each album. For truly obsessive completists, there's also...
...learned that our vocals may not sound as great as they do in the shower or the car, and in the Beatles' instrumental interludes, we may not play their guitar as well as our air guitar. Mercifully, Rock Band doesn't record your amateur Beatling (though an incriminating video of our session will be available at time.com/video) But even if your performance is less Beatles than dung beetles, it's hard not to get into the spirit of the game. Leo told us, "I'm going to be a first-time father at 52 in a few weeks...
