...aspirations of his people and the potential of his state: Is Chen Shui-bian good enough, wise enough, man enough, to take Taiwan where it deserves to go? The helicopter takes flight, pushing the President back into his silver seat. He looks even smaller than his 1.65 m. His wire-frame glasses and white windbreaker and silver-gray slacks make him appear delicate and vulnerable.

The 30-year-old manufacturer was the first to introduce a sophisticated fly-by-wire system (where the pilot's actions send electronic signals, rather than pulling cables, to maneuver the plane) and adopt virtually uniform cockpits for its entire fleet (thereby lowering the cost of pilot training). And Airbus often sells its jets for less than comparable Boeing models. "I'm a red-blooded American, and I want to see our side succeed," says David Neeleman...
