...Gaddafi regime. It may, instead, have compelled moderate Arab governments to rally behind Gaddafi. Mitterrand and Chirac complained to U.S. Envoy Vernon Walters that a limited bombing raid could stir up a new wave of Islamic extremism. "With a victory like that, who needs a defeat?" said Dominique Moļsi, a French strategic expert...
...home. "Taiwan has always been divided over the issue of how to deal with China," says Joseph Wu, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, Taiwan's top policymaking body on mainland issues. "China knows this. In [inviting Lien to China], it creates internal problems."

His colleague, Franco Pisano, was already hitting the letter T for "transmetti" (send) on his keyboard, followed by S for "si." That put the Italians a couple of seconds ahead of AP, whose Bill Kole hit "send" on a newsflash prewritten by Simpson - "Vatican says Pope has died" - after being phoned by colleague Nicole Winfield, whose Blackberry had vibrated with the news. Still, AP and ANSA were ahead of the pack. When...
