...decipher than Hong Kong and Macau, former British and Portuguese colonies whose governments could make no moral argument against the return of the two territories to Chinese sovereignty. Taiwan is different. Since 1987, when the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) lifted martial law, the island has gradually become a thriving, if somewhat rambunctious, democracy. Its 23 million people determine its future, not Beijing or London or Lisbon. A sizeable portion of the population - some estimates put it at as high as a third - opposes Ma's overtures to China.

...acquaintances while enjoying a seat outside. We are pleased to see the administration embracing this inventive move to address a lack of social space on campus. Instead of fixating on the idea that the chairs might not fit well with a traditional image of Harvard Yard, administrators took somewhat of a risk and found an unconventional and elegant manner to give students a brand new way to congregate. The new food vendors and artistic performances are, similarly, original and unexpected initiatives that represent a new and welcome enthusiasm for experimentation. This initiative could be a great complement to future...
