Premier Wen Jiabao spent the weekend touring drough-stricken villages in Yunnan province, where many areas have received half the usual rainfall.

The big picture is one of a shrinking market: IDC predicts that global growth will soon vanish as sales flatten in 2009 at 111.1 million cameras, and then begin to sink in 2010.

The choreography is either a slight or an oversight. In Waltz, company loves misery. The unhappy lovers consort with tour-frazzled Babbitts and an expatriate couple whose marriage is sinking considerably faster than Venice...
