...These days, U.S. officials routinely acknowledge that the Washington-Beijing relationship is the world's most important. Combined, the U.S. and Chinese economies accounted for more than half of global growth over the past four years, and how these nations interact over everything from Iran to North Korea will do much to determine whether peace and prosperity prevail in Asia and beyond. But high-level U.S. talks with China in recent years have been sporadic, at best. The heaviest hitters in President Bush's Administration have been preoccupied with the war on terror and the deepening fiasco in Iraq. Aside...
...natural history required to understand consciousness is now readily available in evolutionary biology and psychology. Gene networks organize themselves to produce complex organisms whose brains permit behavior; further evolution enriches the complexity of those brains so that they can create sensory and motor maps that represent the environments they interact with; additional evolutionary complexity allows parts of the brain to talk to each other (figuratively speaking) and generate maps of the organism interacting with its environment. Within the frame of those interactions, the conversation among the maps spontaneously and continuously tells the "story" of our organism responding to and being...
...turned 30. But like most of my generation, I was wrong. Our assumptions were based on the idea that video games would never grow up.

There is no bigger story than this, and our cover story this week inaugurates a regular section in the magazine that will focus exclusively on China...
...Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and the challenges this showcase will pose to China's political system, on how suburbia is transforming the nation and how China is fast becoming a synonym for international chic. And we will continue to write and report on how America and China must interact in the 21st century. Henry Luce's great passions of the 20th century remain ours today...
