...Zhang has brought plenty of pop sensibility to his calling. Aside from abridging traditional storylines, he has experimented with modern plots, adapting a short story by early 20th century writer Lu Xun. The singing is also faster and the traditionally empty stage is now filled with backdrops and props (classical Kunqu required audiences to simply imagine the scene according to cues in the lyrics). A new breed of younger artists has also been cast in plum roles, which by tradition were always reserved for veteran performers. Prominent among the fresh faces is Zhang himself.

...President Bush threatened to veto the bill unless it was slashed to $256 billion; he ultimately signed a $286 billion compromise. But the significance of TEA-LU was not its final amount.
