...Europe in 1914 and in the Pacific in 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor? Luckily, history knows similar dynamics but no determinism. Look how Washington and Beijing resolved the Hainan incident. Both knew that matters must not get out of hand, that neither player could be forced to slink away in humiliation. Add two numbers: China's $80 billion trade surplus with the U.S. and 54,000 Chinese students in America. Nobody else in the world will grant China such lavish access to wealth and knowledge, and Beijing knows...
...obtain Vicodin and other painkillers, you needn't slink off to the rough side of town for a date with your dealer--although you could. Last month Ventura County, Calif., issued a grand jury indictment alleging that the Hell's Angels used a youth gang called the Outfit to sell more than 700,000 Valium and Vicodin tablets throughout the region--all supplied, according to the charge, by an Air Force clinic employee.

You know the winners are going to storm the field, and a rush of people headed downwards while others slink out of the stadium seems a recipe for collision...
...walking around Sydney's Olympic Village, where I witnessed a giant blond Norwegian couple making out, Brazilian basketball players scootering by and Cuban boxers hogging the snowboarding video game, I was once again reminded of how out of place I am among the athletically inclined. I was about to slink back to the fun-exempt press center when, just past the florist, I spotted three tiny 16-year-old gymnasts waiting for a manicure in what was an obviously desperate, misguided attempt to appear as if they had reached puberty. I decided to get a manicure and haircut...
