...staffed by his allies. Green detected a growing assurance in the times he met Hu. "In the beginning," he says, "Hu would conduct his meetings with a large number of officials in the same room and only reluctantly agree to one-on-one sessions with [Secretary of State Condoleezza] Rice or the President. But as time went on, the amount of time he spent in one-on-ones grew, as did his confidence. I think he has gained control over the apparatus." Sometime after the party Congress, those tea-leaf readers will tell us if that is really the case...
Maybe it happened the day after Hurricane Katrina or the night Al Gore won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth, but the first phase of the global-warming debate has ended. Even Skeptic-in-Chief George W.

Bush, who chose not to address the U.N. meeting, though he did attend a dinner for leaders at Ban's request. (Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke instead, emphasizing the importance of investment in clean energy technologies, over specific limits for greenhouse gases.) But Bush will be at a climate change summit of his own at the end of the week. The White House invited major carbon emitters - including developing giants China and India - to Washington to discuss long-term...
