...international law. ASIA China's boom makes it an indispensable economic partner for Europe and the U.S., but its cheap wages and huge trade surplus lie behind popular complaints about "exporting American jobs" - which Bush may need to respond to. Washington doesn't want European companies to sell high-tech defense goods to Beijing that might give it an edge in a fight over Taiwan. The U.S. has said it can't tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea, but if no deal is struck, a confrontation - and perhaps a regional nuclear arms race - becomes a more likely scenario. FISCAL...

Stalter's job: to figure out what Crilly and Conley's wi-fi spotlight was good for and who would pay good money...
...that photography and film have eclipsed it in technology, the making of a print today is a very deliberate act. This is the story that is documented in this single room of the Fogg: history since the moment when the woodcut was the high-tech way to disseminate one’s art, and marked the acceleration of global vision, to the moment when the print is an antique process, a deliberate and elaborate activity whose moment of impression is used...
