...years. But the smiles that emanate from the trailing multitudes are often of a different kind now. They are not just the silly simpers that form in response to a celebrity sighting. They are also the warm, seraphic beams accorded to individuals who walk a righteous path. People generally don't ask Li to do flying kicks or the wushu horse stance for the camera these days.

Although a path toward legalization is favorable in that it would lead to decreased law-breaking and a more manageable flow of labor, a system allowing undocumented immigrants to eventually become citizens may motivate more immigrants to enter illegally. He acknowledged the proposal of a mandatory citizenship ID, though not supported by any political...
...should consider some new options if there is no progress in negotiations: stop sending envoys from the Dalai Lama to China, for example, or simply pursue full independence: "The Middle Way Approach, independence or self-determination, whatever is pursued in the Tibetan struggle, we shall not deviate from the path of non-violence to achieve our aims," the report said.
