...TIME: You've been a staunch advocate of continued U.S. engagement in Asia. At the same time, you have been a pretty sharp critic, to put it mildly, of internal American society. LEE: Because they want to impose certain values on me that would make it very difficult to govern a Singapore in the middle of a Muslim Southeast Asia. Sometimes, intellectually, I've got to give it as hard as they give it to me. It's important that we do that, because we intend to stand our ground with the Chinese and with our bigger neighbors...
...Still, despite his more relaxed demeanor, when Time spoke to him for nearly five hours over two days this fall, it was clear that neither age nor heart surgery 10 years ago have changed Lee's basic personality: sharp intelligence allied with an unsentimental, almost clinical rationality and supreme confidence in his own judgment. But there is another side to Lee that has been blossoming in recent years - that of the geopolitical thinker and analyst, a role he clearly relishes.

Jose Olivero is far and away the best player on Lehigh's roster, a 6'2 junior shooting guard averaging 16.6 points a game. Olivero is coming off a career night in the team's loss to Sacred Heart, when he scored 30 of the Mountain Hawks' 55 points...
Directed by Stephen GaghanWarner Bros. Pictures4 1/2 stars“Syriana” is hardly the feel-good movie of the year.
