During two hours of intense talks that night, Chernomyrdin warned Gore and other top U.S. officials that he could not do alone what the West was asking. As a result, the next morning, at the same table, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright came up with the name of Finnish President Ahtisaari as Chernomyrdin's likely partner. And as everyone stood to leave, Gore told Chernomyrdin that there was something else he should have. He handed the Russian a manila envelope containing a reminder of the most fundamental reason why both countries needed to succeed--a draft of a yet unreleased...
...managed to learn to do tiny errands, but she also realized that she was missing something. "Sometimes," she later wrote, "I stood between two persons who were conversing and touched their lips.

Anne's deep effect on readers comes from her being a normal, if gifted, teenager. She was curious about sex, doubtful about religion, caustic about her parents, irritable especially to herself; she believed...
...science, objective truths can be arrived at only through a testing of hypotheses, a democratic consensus "based on a profound study of facts, theories and views, presupposing unprejudiced and open discussion." As a physicist, he believed that physical laws are immutable, applying to all things in nature. As a result, he regarded certain human values--such as liberty and the respect for individual dignity--as inviolable and universal. It is not surprising that in China today, many of the most outspoken advocates of political reform are members of the scientific and academic communities. They are all the progeny of Andrei...
