...Bridge to the Mainland? Thank you for bringing attention to Taiwan with the report "Strait Talker," about Ma Ying-jeou's presidential campaign [March 24].

...Ma is enough of a politician to know he cannot be a change agent all by himself. There are myriad ways he can stumble. His pledge to improve people's livelihoods will be hard to fulfill. On cross-strait initiatives, he requires Beijing to go along, and, within his own party, he has to walk a tightrope between competing factions.
