...continue to be fresh without losing the essence of Hello Kitty? Jo-Anne Sears, Yorktown, Va. Trends are the key - what colors and what motifs are in. If roses are in fashion, then I think of rose designs. I have to be able to predict more or less what is coming...

The chief general, Than Shwe, is 75 years old and by some accounts ailing, but it would be naive to assume that his demise will fracture or enfeeble the military. Over the years, senior Burmese generals have either died (Ne Win in 2002) or been purged (Khin Nyunt in 2004), and each time the military...
