I try to put out fires when bizarre rumors get started. One rumor I addressed was that the Volturi scenes were supposed to be set in a bathhouse with everyone naked...

During a visit to Beijing, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said, "I have rarely seen better coordination between China and the United States in particular. There is a virtually unprecedented level of acceptance of basic goals and ambitions associated with the six-party talks and negotiations with North Korea." Of course, China's cooperation has limits.
