...moment, the man who has the inside track is President Jiang Zemin, who last week held a sort of mini-summit with President Bill Clinton in New York City. Clinton and Jiang talked for two hours at Lincoln Center without reaching any new agreements. But they were determined to demonstrate publicly that Sino-American relations, which have been strained and verging on bad, are starting to improve. White House spokesman Michael McCurry offered a painstaking formulation: Clinton was "confident that we have begun a process that will lead to a series of dialogues that will help improve the opportunity...
