...wouldn’t be surprised if Threski (short for Threskiornis aethiopicus) decided to remain in the Far East. During his frequent trips to 14 Plympton St., he has often been seen reading the Writings of Chairman Mao, copies of which are usually on hand in the offices of The Crimson’s editorial board. Ideology exerts a strong force on this bird; for an example one need only look to his famous 1953 visit to the Russian delegation in New York...
...computer strategy game of all time. Until now. Civilization III, released this fall, takes history simulation to the next level. You manage not only your fledging society's military and economy over 4,000 years but its trade and culture too, matching wits against such computer opponents as Chairman Mao and Abraham Lincoln. Better clear the decks: this one could swallow a few hundred weekends...

...strong man, a father, a husband, a cool dude, all at the same time. In other words, a populist who can tug Taiwan's voters to the polls this December and lead his Democratic People's Party (DPP) to a legislative plurality. Great leaders like Roosevelt, Mao and Chiang Kai-shek had that ability to reach through whatever medium they were using and connect with their people. For Chen, successful at everything he has done, finding a way to make that connection is proving his greatest challenge. You can't bone up on empathy or cram your way into...
