...that these pill-popping, pleasure-seeking if girl-shy goof-offs are gangsters at all. And Lee wisely lets singer turned actor Pete Teo and sleepy-eyed Singaporean cult actor Sunny Pang (cast as a country bumpkin who rises by default to gang boss) carry the weight with amazingly nuanced and uncontrived nonperformances. (See TIME's complete coverage: The 2009 Cannes Film Festival...
...still up against Pacquiao, the phenom from the Philippines who had risen through several weight classes to win six titles in as many divisions. At the end of the night, Pacquiao had his seventh. After the referee stopped the fight in the 55th second of the 12th and final round, Pacquiao became the new welterweight champion of boxing by TKO.

That policy weight comes from Steinberg, a China expert and former Deputy National Security Adviser who is staying in Washington during the trip. He has been largely responsible for designing the Administration's approach to Asia, which is to focus on reassuring both long-term allies and China that the U.S. seeks increased cooperation in areas of shared interest. Kurt Campbell, a centrist Clinton White House and Pentagon official, will have...
