...didn't know was that you were being watched--that you and millions like you were already caught in the net of China's biggest internal security operation since the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989. One of the other members in your group may have sent you an e-mail about how some 10,000 Falun Gong members had gathered in Beijing in April to protest being called a cult. But nobody had been arrested, and you thought little of it. The exercises got your circulation going, and meditation afterward helped dissipate frustrations from work and your crowded apartment block...

The Falun Gong gatherings were more than a worry for China's security services; they were also an embarrassment.

A run through its pages is like watching a moving picture of short and long takes, dense alongside superficial; a centerfold of short bites about the Best Talkers up against a long essay...
...VITED If you think it's a drag to send out invitations by snail mail, consider a new website called evite.com All you need to do is fill out one of the site's prepared invitations and, with a click, send it off. It keeps track of acceptances, lets invitees make comments, even offers a place to pick, say, chicken or beef for dinner. There's a benefit for recipients too. They can peek at the R.S.V.P. list--and decide after casing the names on the acceptances whether it's a bash they would really like to attend...
