...Huang asserts that only more developed property rights, transparency and democracy will allow China to move to the next stage of economic development - but he does so almost in passing and one longs for more substance on these points. Thankfully, his rearview vision is far more fleshed out. As a look at China's entrepreneurial economy in the 1980s and 1990s - and as a counterpoint to the common misconception that China is steadily evolving into a more market-oriented economy - this book is unparalleled...

...much as each side seeks to spin the war as advancing their overall vision, Israel has yet to articulate a clear, workable exit plan that will achieve the war's objectives without reoccupying Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas can stack civilian bodies like cordwood for the cameras and proclaim the virtues of its "steadfast resistance," but it has offered the Palestinians no explanation of how this fight will advance their national goals.

But I believe Obama has the unique ability to lift the eyes of Arabs and Israelis from the mire of misery in which they seem forever bound to the far horizon of peace, security, normality and a better future for their children. Coming on the eve of Obama's Inauguration, the Gaza crisis has turned that opportunity into a necessity...

...agitator, a technical and cultural touchpoint for the media and information industries. He brought us the Mac machine that defines the personal-computer experience today. He changed music with the iPod, nearly making Sony obsolete. The touchscreen iPhone conquered Motorola's once so hot Razr. It's his vision and insane focus on style and function that made Apple the temple of techno-cool. So, if Apple is Jobs, what is it without...
