...abdominal surgery would have us believe that the luck of the Irish still holds. But his health is not explainable just in terms of luck. We should consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have a man of old-fashioned virtues and moral strength leading our nation. J. Robert Hall Veronia, Ore...
...province, although it remains part of Sichuan. For the past two years the city has become an economic laboratory for the country. Chongqing has plants that produce trucks, buses, machine tools, chemicals, textiles and munitions.

...China's hunger for resources has also exposed inadequacies in Australia's infrastructure and work practices. Exports could have been even higher. Long queues of ships kept waiting off Dalrymple Bay in Queensland to load coking coal for China symbolize the problems. In this year's iron ore negotiations, Chinese buyers settled for a 71.5% price increase (BHP Billiton, fresh from securing a 25-year supply contract, had sought to double its price via a rise in the freight rate it charges mills). Chinese officials say supply bottlenecks are to blame for the price hikes. Ambassador Fu has raised...
