...police draw blood after a suspected drunk driving accident. But not always. Americans, for example, can't currently be compelled to give a DNA sample. Nor can they be forced to submit to an MRI or have electrodes fixed to their skulls without consent or a court order, says Hank Greely, a Stanford law professor. But it's conceivable that prosecutors might become much more aggressive in demanding brain scans--"like a search warrant for the brain," he suggests.

He and his boss in the White House are hoping China's leaders move decisively within the next two years, before Bush's term expires and a new Cabinet is appointed.

...Hank Paulson is trying to rectify that.

The U.S. urgently needs Beijing to allow its currency to appreciate in value against the dollar...
...response to stockholders' insatiable demand for rising returns, even for papers with loyal readership and steady ad support. But now that a bevy of bigwig buyers are itching to own prestigious dailies, newspapers in key markets may benefit from a return to private ownership. Why would baron bidders like Hank Greenberg, Jack Welch and David Geffen--who have expressed interest in the Tribune Co., the Boston Globe and the L.A. Times, respectively--rush in to bet on slow-growth newspapers? Perhaps they're aware that 85% of adults either read a paper every week or visit its website. Less pressure...
