...also why two U.S. senators are scheduled to arrive in Beijing this week, brandishing the negotiating equivalent of stone axes. Lindsey Graham and Charles Schumer are co-sponsors of a bill that would slap a 27.5% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing allows its currency to appreciate significantly against the dollar, an adjustment some trade experts believe would reduce the deficit by making China's exports more expensive in the U.S. and U.S. products cheaper in China. Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, at a press conference last week, suggested the two Washington politicians could save U.S. taxpayers the airfare...
...made good plays and found the back of the net.” Despite being ahead by six goals, the Crimson’s offense didn’t relax. Sophomore Jon Pelle converted on the power play just 3:06 into the period, welcoming Goulding with a powerful slap-shot from the left boards.

I?ll also hand out an Oscar for golden perkiness to Witherspoon, who looked lovely in a spangled dress, and sparkled indefatigably...
...been no observable decrease in the flow of undocumented workers. Because the fence will not stop the flow of undocumented immigrants, its construction is purely symbolic. By erecting this fence, the U.S. distances itself from Latin America, shunning and disassociating itself from its neighbors. The fence translates into a slap in the face to all Latin Americans and is a setback to the rapprochement the U.S. and Mexico have experienced in recent years. This symbolic barrier signifies nothing less than xenophobia and ignorance about the socio-cultural history of the U.S. and its Latin American immigrants. In order to effectively...
