...cold war depictions of the Chinese as brainwashed "pawns of the state." When will TIME stop making value judgments and maintain a sense of cultural relativity? I grew up with many athletes in America who, just like the athletes in this article, have neglected higher academics to achieve success in sports. I've not only known but had coaches who are just as tough, if not tougher, than the coaches described in this article. And, oh, yeah - the "propaganda director" of Weifang City Sports School?

...third term, Roberts has achieved what his colleagues had thought was nearly impossible. His success is a reminder of the importance of personality when it comes to leadership on the Supreme Court, in which the quirks and temperaments of individual Justices are as important as judicial philosophy in shaping the law. Roberts told me that he thought much of Marshall's success was due to the fact that his colleagues liked and trusted him. Marshall persuaded the Justices, at the beginning of the 19th century, to live in the same boarding house and discuss cases over glasses of his excellent...
