...TIME: So is nationalism - rather than its political system, or the build-up of its military, or the destabilizing role the Chinese Communist Party once played in Southeast Asia - the main reason behind the suspicion about China? LEE: The discomfort [with China] is primarily that it is becoming a very powerful country and that it's not averse to making its power felt. For instance, when we did not sufficiently make amends for having visited Taiwan, they just froze all economic ties at the official level. We are a very small part of their economy, but they are a significant...
...live advertisement for Newports, Alkaseltzer, or the like, my grandmother would glide onto the stage—SNL style—perform a short monologue and encourage her audience: “Add a little fun in your life: try dancing.” I have a sneaking suspicion she wouldn’t approve of her descendents giving up the classics to “drop it like it’s hot” instead.

The 1970s glam-rock icon best known for hits like Rock and Roll (Part 2) and Leader of the Gang served two months in prison in his native Great Britain in 1999 for possession of child pornography and was expelled from Cambodia in 2002 under suspicion of pedophilia, an accusation he denied.

Over the next several months, the investigation widened to include a related group of young Muslim men in Sydney, and controversial cleric Abdul Nacer Benbrika...
...dark ages, we lived together. We called them our cousins. It is a part of our tradition. RABIN: The historic breakthrough was not now. It was when President Sadat, the leader of the largest Arab country, came to Jerusalem and succeeded in bringing down all the walls of suspicion, hatred, prejudices vis-a-vis Egypt. Arafat is not in a position to do it because he is not in control of the people in the territories. His influence is limited to the members of his organization. Because of that we need minimum security assurances. Still, I believe that we have...
