...emerges as an international power [Jan. 22], the West must be wary of a brain drain. In order to be a manufacturing giant, the Chinese must get all the know-how as well. As capitalist businesses become increasingly focused on earning quarterly profits through low-cost production, they lose sight of the greater long-term value of their intellectual resources and will lose their markets in the end. The Chinese have a reputation for endurance. Alan Benson Berlin...

But it remains to be seen whether this political circus can yield what might perhaps be the greatest demonstration of freedom in our nation’s history: the sight of a black man representing both the community he came from and the whole national melting pot. Will freedom really ring from “the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire… from the curvaceous slopes of California… from every hill and molehill of Mississippi?” Only time will tell...
