...Based on a Fu Manchu novel by Sax Rohmer, the plot of Daughter of the Dragon extended the curse sworn by Dr. Fu on the Petrie family to the next generation. Fu Manchu (Warner Oland), long ago injured and exiled in an attempt on Petrie Sr., returns to London and confronts the father: "In the 20 years I have fought to live," he says in his florid maleficence, "the thought of killing you and your son has been my dearest nurse." He kills the father, is mortally wounded himself and, on his deathbed, reveals his identity to his daughter Ling...

New Mexico's Bill Richardson is seizing every hobnobbing opportunity as head of the Democratic Governors' Association and is "definitely thinking about it," says a source close to him. Indiana Senator Evan Bayh is lining up a finance team and arguing that he can win in some red states...
...strict controls in place to prevent abuses and that it is briefing Congress on its spy missions. "Applicable laws and regulations are applied to planning and operations conducted by U.S. forces," Stephen Cambone, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, told TIME. Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John Warner says he is satisfied for now that his committee is being informed of the secret operations. But Warner and the panel's senior Democrat, Carl Levin, have warned Pentagon officials that they want "no surprises," says a Senate aide. For Rumsfeld, the test will be whether his soldier spies can do better...
