Wall Street Journal,Sept.27-28,2008

Page A15: Chavez bolsters links with Russia. Let us watch the developments.
Page A16: In financial crisis, metaphors fly like bad analogies. Perhaps English Rhetoric is required?! Americans do not seem to care English grammer.
Page A18: Prof. Cohen of University of California Law School in San Francisco said: "Are there unethical plaintiffs attorneys? Sure. And there are unethical defense atorneys as well."

China could use Tort lawyers with more accountabilty.
Republicans and Democrats are equally likely to be the unfortunate victims of accidental harm. US and China share the same concern in Sino-American Economics.

Page B2: The US Mint quoted a price of $1,100 for the one ounce of gold coin. If the coin is half pound,it would mean 8 ounces for $8,800 if it is available. When collectors keep such then the price will be going up higher and higher in the future.

NYTimes Page B1,B4: Wachovia, looking for help, turns to Citigroup, the largest banking corporation in assets world-wide. I visited Citibank in Shanghai twice.
