...idea of a traditionally antagonistic (and, nominally, Communist) nation buying up U.S. assets won't likely sit well with American voters. Already one major acquisition - the attempted 2005 takeover of U.S. energy firm UNOCAL by a Chinese oil company - was nixed following political outcry. What will China try to snap up next...

Finkton—who wasn’t even originally planning on competing Saturday night—was declared champion. Looks like this is one Harvard kid who’s not going to get schooled...
