...Bill is a distraction when Hillary shares the stage with him--and more of one when she doesn't--that leaves Hillary with another option: sending him out on the campaign trail alone. What political pros call the surrogate is the most traditional role for the spouse and often the most valuable. But when Bill is subbing for Hillary, you start wondering which one is the candidate. In late July, for instance, people paying $75 a ticket began lining up more than an hour early at Capitale in New York City, where Bill was headlining a fund raiser for Hillary...
...trail that led police to Karr began with an anonymous e-mail he sent four years ago to Michael Tracey, a journalism professor at the University of Colorado who has produced three documentaries about the case--films that had piqued Karr's interest. In time there would be hundreds of e-mails, which Tracey would eventually show to Boulder County prosecutors, who were sufficiently intrigued to reinvigorate their investigation. Earlier this year, not long before Patsy Ramsey's death, one of the investigators even posed as her online to engage Karr in a series of e-mail exchanges. When Karr...
...gets the chance. Both Laffey and Chafee trail Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, another Protestant aristocrat, in the polls. Rhode Island voted overwhelmingly for John Kerry in 2004; it probably hasn't grown any fonder of George W. Bush since then. Laffey doesn't care.

If Shenzhen can leap from assembling basic products with low-wage, poorly skilled labor to nurturing the innovations of lavishly paid talent, it could blaze a trail for the rest of corporate China, which must increasingly develop its own brands, designs and technology to rival those of America, Japan and Europe. It would not be the first time Shenzhen has led the way. The city, located in southern China's Pearl River Delta, has been at the forefront of China's free-market reforms for 25 years. In 1979, late Chinese leader Deng...
...migrant-worker magnet. That means there are fewer workers to fill the lowliest jobs, and employers must pay more to attract them. At a large job market in downtown Shenzhen, hundreds of positions are posted on bulletin boards and rows of recruiters wait to collect applications, but the trail of employment seekers is frustratingly short. At one booth, recruiter Zhong Man says entry-level salaries at her Shenzhen-based apparel company have doubled in the past two years to $250 a month, but that hasn't alleviated a chronic staff shortage. "It's a little harder to find average workers...
