...media. Skeptical scrutiny of Presidents, it seems, is on a permanent upward ratchet. This is a good thing, by and large, but rough on the incumbent.

"You just need a good way to introduce it." Zhang, a 33-year-old entrepreneur, caught the online bug while touring America in 1994, and has picked up a few high-caffeine marketing techniques. In January she opened the Cybercafe, a night spot in the lobby of the Beijing Concert Hall where both the wired and the wannabes gather to exchange E-mail and breathe the Internet's libertarian...
