...Minister Tang Jiaxuan said that "Japan has never completely abandoned its militaristic past in the same way as Germany with the Nazis. If it were to do so, China and other Asian nations would not have to keep reminding Japan of history so often." Tang's statement, drawing a parallel between the terror of Nazi violence and the Japanese violence, effectively evokes the degree of resentment many Chinese feel. How can a people so humiliated be expected to forget about history when Japan has not been confronted head...
...though the grinding wear patterns on the embryonic teeth hint that the little dinos probably did break out of their shells voraciously hungry. Under a microscope, the postage stamp-size patches of fossilized embryonic skin--the first ever found--turned out to have scales arrayed in distinctive patterns (rosettes, parallel rows) similar to the arrangement of the small bony plates on the backs of titanosaurs. This could mean, says Chiappe, that like modern crocodiles, the young sauropods grew body armor as they matured...
...cardiac education, which--with another heart attack in 1993 and with the reappearance last spring of the radioactive symptoms--is well along in its postgraduate phase. I share this with you (as they say in group) because the history of my heart's misadventures happens, luckily for me, to parallel the story of the late 20th century's medical advances in the treatment of heart disease. And because at the American Heart Association's meeting last week in Dallas, still more remarkable new treatments were auditioned. I have enjoyed, so far, an existential scissors graph: my heart gets worse; medicine...
...Allen traces Lee's and Robin's parallel courses toward opposite fates, Celebrity, even though it is shot in austere black and white on palpably real locations, turns into something new for him: an epic. It contains 242 speaking parts and 5,128 extras--forces sufficient, if deployed in a different context, to make a biblical spectacle. Or--better comparison--a screen version of Thackeray's Vanity Fair or some other satirical, multilayered saga of halfway decent, halfway desperate people trying to make their way in a corrupt society...
...that the IMF is willing to go all the way to make sure of that." That added confidence means capital flight out of Brazil and its currency, the real, should stop -- and that can ensure a recovery in and of itself. Adding to the warm fuzzies is this happy parallel: The U.S. is chipping in $5 billion on its own, the largest such committment since the bailout of Mexico in 1995. And that, not coincidentally, was the last time an IMF rescue actually succeeded...
