...Semel, 62, wants to take the next leap, building the mythical bridge between the Internet and the entertainment world by putting Yahoo!'s stamp on everything from music to movies. The ultimate tool: streaming video, which allows websites to deliver content--from movies and TV shows to live news footage, celebrity interview clips and even three-dimensional representations of new cars with simulated test drives. In addition to The Apprentice, Yahoo! already streams regular clips from Entertainment Tonight, and has done a deal to webcast the first episode of Kirstie Alley's Fat Actress later this month.

And of all the great nations of the world, there is none with so large a reserve of undigested, poisoned history than China. Think of the killing of 1 million landlords, the Hundred Flowers Movement, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Think of Tiananmen, and the repeated ideological cashiering of leaders and mistreatment of dissidents since then. China has made little effort to work through the psychologically complex process of acknowledgment, apology and repentance. Instead, its leaders have remained frozen in stubborn postures of self-justification...
