...dangers. But it is not only years of experience and his dispassionate intelligence that have led to his eminence. Lee also embodies a uniquely Asian approach to governance that has often been at odds with the democratic principles espoused by many Western politicians. For decades, he has spoken in favor of what has come to be termed "Asian values" (he prefers "Confucian values"), a political philosophy that might be loosely summed up as respect for authority and order, while putting the good of society above that of the individual. His criticisms have focused on the excesses of unfettered democracy - particularly...
...that conversation supposedly important? Because in October 2004, a few months after it took place, Rove made another appearance before the grand jury, saying this time that he had found an e-mail showing that he had spoken with Cooper.

Now that's Roosevelt in 1918. If someone...
...Dawson has made the character all her own. The adaptation of “Rent” from stage to screen led to song order being rearranged, the time frame of the plot being altered, and an overall shortening. The biggest change from the original is the addition of spoken dialogue. On stage, “Rent” is essentially an opera; very few lines are spoken, and the entire plot can be followed through the songs. In the film version, much of the dialogue is removed from the soundtrack. The result is shorter, but certainly less cohesive...
