...insular conditions of operation, which impede external critique, make vigorous internal critique imperative. Especially now that University President Lawrence H. Summers has had a role in appointing the majority of the current members of the Corporation, each new member must be selected with an eye to shaking off the sluggish haze of groupthink that can so easily envelop and consume groups of people...
...about the only certain thing is that the U.S. Supreme Court will be at least one Justice short when it meets next month. The chances for a quick replacement do not favor the President. Under fire for his Administration's sluggish performance on Hurricane Katrina and beset by poor poll ratings on Iraq and energy policy, Bush will surely recalibrate any decisions he might have made before sending another name to the Senate.

Almost three years ago, at Deng's urging, the city was given extraordinary freedom to handle foreign trade and investment. No longer was prior approval from Peking necessary to launch export programs. The city could enter into joint ventures with foreign countries, raise international capital and invite bids for construction projects. If all went well, Shanghai, already responsible for one-sixth of China's foreign-exchange earnings and one-eighth of its industrial production, would emerge as a sort...
