...eventually going to rule the other, with a nod and a wink from Washington. Now Lee seems intent on giving that blanket a good shredding. After making a vague threat over the weekend that Beijing-Taipei relations would now be "nation-to-nation," Lee confirmed the policy break Tuesday through a top government official. China?s reaction was predictable ? immediate and furious ? and now it?s up to the U.S. (which doesn't want to have to choose sides) to hope it all blows over...

If that event should involve a reincarnated Dodi, well then, all the better...
Next they'll be having an "everything must go" sale at Fort Knox. The latest gold rush has tens of thousands of miners in South Africa, Russia and other gold-producing countries facing unemployment ?- because there's a rush to sell. The Bank of England offloaded 25 tons on Tuesday, dragging the price of gold down to a 20-year low. And there's worse to come, as the International Monetary Fund proceeds with plans to sell $2.6 billion of its own gold reserves to raise money for debt relief to poor countries...
