...this, has a story line. Here, a boy in striped pajamas (Stéphan Landry) receives a big red box. He opens it and pop!, out springs Jack, a lithe, saucy, strutting trickster (Adam Mike Tyus). This Jack-be-limber cues an instant circus fantasia: 16 scamps in parade regalia (gold jackets, white pants, red fezzes) who launch into a charivari - the kind of tumbling act that populates your most soaring dreams, where you feel graceful and defy gravity. At the rear of the stage there's a three-story bandstand, which goes unnoticed until one of the chorines dives...
...rest of the discarded pictures were also of the world's longest-serving monarch, some capturing him in ceremonial regalia, one showing him playing a jazz saxophone. Apirat shook his head as water dripped on the images, which were left behind when the Red Shirts abandoned their post and started the trip back to their homes across the nation. An unspoken question hovered in the air: What were pictures of Thailand's King, beloved by millions, doing forsaken in the middle of what hours before had been a potential battle zone?

When he comes to the door, he's in his customary Wasp regalia, a button- down cotton shirt and white suede shoes. Quantities of nicotine and bourbon have produced his voice, a liquid Southern baritone that reminds you of his friend Shelby Foote. It's a voice he dispenses in small doses. What that means is that he can stretch a sentence into next week while he deliberates on his next syllable...
...That approach stands in stark contrast to Chen, who rankled China in 2001 by meeting with U.S. lawmakers and posing for cameras in cowboy regalia as though he was on an official state visit. China claims Taiwan as a renegade province, and thus regards diplomatic relations between Taiwan and the U.S. as an affront to Chinese sovereignty. The U.S., which acknowledges China's position but supplies Taiwan with military material, also treads cautiously, frequently denying Taiwanese leaders permission to visit the U.S. in order to avoid unnecessarily upsetting China. Ma "differs from his predecessor," says Lin Chong-pin, President...
