...remarkable to think that the issue of clear-cutting would trigger such a fierce debate in Maine, a state Ralph Nader once called "a paper plantation." Unlike the West, almost half the state is in the hands of private timber interests. This is the largest concentration of industry ownership in the country. Just 15 corporate landlords own 9.6 million acres, primarily in the North Woods, the great dark forest blanketing Maine's upper reaches.

The ownership of the potentially oil-rich islands (called Diaoyu by the Chinese and Senkaku by the Japanese) has ignited a grass-roots movement in capitalist Hong Kong, communist China, and among pro-unification forces in Taiwan. This territoriality has been matched by rightist indignation in Japan, which has not fought a war since 1945 but which sent its coast guard...
