HONG KONG New Administration In a move to further distance his administration from the British colonial legacy, Hong Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa announced a revamp of the civil service. Under the new system three senior secretaries and 11 ministers, political appointees chosen by Tung, will run the territory's government as of July 1, the start of his second five-year term of office...
...soccer-crazy apparatchiks, never foresaw such a late-game loss of face.

That statement has been broadly interpreted as a precursor for a tough anticult bill. And if such a bill is submitted, the legislature, packed with people who follow Beijing...
...Handgun Control's Nancy Hwa, on the other hand, insists that until America addresses access to guns, the school shootings will continue. Hwa agreed that there are larger issues at play than simply having access to firearms. But, she said, "While we agree that you should look at and try to solve the root causes of teen gun crimes, until we do figure out those complex sociological or psychological problems the least we can do is keep guns out of kids' hands...
