There were no dramatic breakthroughs, and it isn't easy to think of any that could have been expected. None of the big and explosive issues that divide China and the U.S., like human rights or Taiwan or the $50 billion trade imbalance in China's favor, were resolved. Jiang scored his major points as soon as Clinton stepped off Air Force One in Beijing, because he was the first U.S. President to come calling since the Tiananmen massacre of 1989. For his part, Clinton was trying to demonstrate that his policy choice--engagement--pays more dividends than confrontation. Clinton...

At the 747 factory, whose 98 acres of floor and 114 ft. of height make it the world's largest building by volume, manager Bill Yoakum went sleepless near Seattle while the plant phased in software that consolidates mountains of manufacturing data.

They talk about getting new jobs, about going back to school, about "taking time off." As one friend who graduated two years ago wrote to me in an e-mail message from work, "The big thing for me now is trying to figure out what to do Next."
