...been somewhat of a rough week. Thursday?s sales announcements from retailers indicated a mass migration from Macy?s to WalMart (hence the slogan-borrowing above) as consumers showed signs of getting stingy with their money. And although productivity reclaimed its former glory Tuesday with a 2.5 percent hike after a contraction in the first quarter, that was mostly because producing companies got around to firing all the workers that were still manning halted production lines back in March...
...People like to say that Indonesians are so friendly and polite, but that kind of view seems to be nothing more than a leftover tourism slogan. There is a struggle going on, and it is being controlled by people in Jakarta?by the very same people who have done such things in the past. As I see it, there is no real leadership at present; there are just people with power.

Back then police rounded up mentally handicapped people who might have wandered into sight of an IOC motorcade and beat one to death. The government enmeshed its bid with an empty political slogan: "A More Open China Awaits the 2000 Games." Nothing like that this time. Beijing emphasizes the country's rich history and the $12 billion the city will spend on environmental protection. Its current slogan, "New Beijing, Great Olympics," deliberately focuses on the city, not the country's policies...
