...there is nothing static about family reaction. Parents are often caught off-guard by the arrival of the new technology in their children's school. Last fall, Jim Karlsberger's eight-year-old son returned from school with a newsletter briefly reporting that lunchroom finger scanning was set to begin. "I thought it was Orwellian," says Karlsberger, a 43-year-old hotel manager in Williams, Ariz. "I find it hard to believe that someone, someday, won't find a way to compromise the information on my child's fingerprint." He rallied dozens of parents and the American Civil Liberties union...
...because the rest of Japan has moved on from the reductionist U.S. good/China bad (or vice versa) matrix of the cold war era. The Japanese public, newly confident of their nation's place in the world but worried about economic concerns back home, deserves better than an old guard. Abe's predecessor Junichiro Koizumi, himself heir to a minor political dynasty, created the impression of trimming family political ties by installing private-sector civilians in key leadership posts.

His reputation was tainted after he oversaw a 60 Minutes report on George W. Bush's National Guard service that was later discredited. Now Rather is suing CBS and three of its top executives for $70 million, claiming the company made him a "scapegoat," failed to give him enough airtime after the episode and ostracized him to "pacify the White House." A spokes- man for CBS said...
...house arrest for his views on topics such as the government's AIDS policy and Tibet, gives a quiet smile when reminded of the promises that the Olympics would advance the cause of human rights. Hu still gets a police escort when he goes outside, though the only visible guard on his fourth-story walk-up apartment in Beijing's eastern suburbs asks politely for accreditation, laboriously records the details, then waves visitors in with a smile. That smiling face, Hu says, is the one that Beijing is presenting to the outside world. But within China, he says, conditions...
