...party members will gather for a few days of factional maneuvering and backroom deals. New policies will be adopted and new appointments made to the Standing Committee of the Politburo--the nine-member inner Cabinet of China--but so opaque are China's politics that the tea-leaf readers will be busy for years. "Even when you know the names and positions of the new appointments," says a Western diplomat in Beijing who tracks Chinese politics, "you still have to wait for policy changes to be sure what they mean...

When Prime Minister Harper declared in August that the "first principle of Arctic sovereignty is use it or lose it," he was directing his message...
...tornado so huge it lookedlike Satan's wide-tip marker obliterated an entire Kansas town with winds over 200 m.p.h. Days later, when President George W.
