...when they spoke of TCM, the FOOF's voices fell into whispered reverence. People scheduled their vacations around it, obsessively taped its movies; there's a clique of Turner Classic Monastics who record, then trade, every premiere of an antique film on TCM.

Countries like Japan, South Korea and Indonesia export capital goods, components and raw materials to China, where they are used to manufacture final products for shipment to the West. This network broke down as demand in the U.S. and Europe shriveled...
...trade between Asian economies is picking up, that trend lends weight to the belief held by many economists that Asia could emerge from the recession ahead of the U.S. and Europe, based primarily on improved economic activity within the region.
