...living by hustling, leeching off of sugar daddies and working a series of short-lived day jobs, our three main characters form a sort of family under the crass leadership of their pimp, "Chief" Yang Jinhai (Andrew Li '77). The young men offer a study in contrasts: Mild-mannered Wu Min (Vinh Nguyen '91) seeks only love and a home with a blue-tiled bathroom, while hard, flamboyant Little Jade (Kim Liang Tan) has "cherry blossom dreams" of finding a sugar daddy to take him to Japan, where he wants to track down the father he's never...
...Houston, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. Blige's previous CDs had some charming cuts, including the bighearted Real Love and her show-stopping remake of I'm Goin' Down. Those albums, however, were tailored for hip-hop audiences; Share My World, seems designed to appeal to lovers of the Wu-Tang Clan and Lisa Stansfield alike. The first song, I Can Love You, draws its melody in part from Lil' Kim's crass but compelling song Queen Bitch, but Blige, employing nimble vocals and all-new G-rated lyrics, transforms it into something mellow and moving.

As if to underscore the defensive and dangerous attitude on the part of the Chinese, Wu Jianmin, China's delegate to the U.N., explained the vote as a "victory for cooperation over confrontation." Denial, as my younger brother reminds me, is not just a river in Egypt; in fact, it seems to flow ram pant through China...
...that surrounded the vigorous lobbying and ultimate defeat of the resolution speak to a general world view that dominates China's perspective on the West and speaks frighteningly clearly to future prospects for civil freedoms in Hong Kong. Dismissing the accusations against its human rights record as Western impudence, Wu argued in a speech to many in the U.N. that the Chinese had absolutely no human rights to speak of before the Communist takeover in 1949. Somehow, that was supposed to exonerate China of its violent actions ever since. Finally, Wu stated that China had followed its own course...
