...water and electricity, and just waited. I told their parents that health conditions were deteriorating, dysentery was going to spread. And they broke it up without any difficulty." I said to Li Peng, you had the world's TV cameras there waiting for the meeting with Gorbachev, and you stage this grand show. His answer was: We are completely inexperienced in these matters...
...eyes to the horizon. Once the subject of withering criticism from human-rights groups for his authoritarian ways and intolerance of dissent, he is now widely acknowledged as Asia's most respected senior statesman. Others may pen lengthy memoirs and seek to use their years on the world stage to tout their punditry and powers of prediction.

Despite little stage time, Chan steals the spotlight and brings depth to Bianca by simultaneously expressing her exterior confidence and inner vulnerability, with more plausibility than the range of emotions attributed to such a flimsy character would initially suggest. Resnick also succeeds in channeling Emilia’s bitterness and repression, although, consequently, her character pales in comparison to the dynamism of the other two women. The most engaging moments, however, come when...
