What we are witnessing is the inevitable day of reckoning between
a sclerotic centralized bureaucracy and a runaway free enterprise
economy that lacks stabilizing institutions to curb excessive behavior.

Everyone nowadays seems to enjoy new-car interior air. But give
me a whiff, any time, that brings back memories of adventures and
interesting trips over a bunch of years. Here's a look at a few
automobiles that I'd pick in a second over a Lexus, that I would drive
again with pride -- if only they were still here.

Let there be no doubt that those who commit such horrific acts in
the name of the "Islamic State" or Islam will be judged by the Muslim
community of BiH (traditionally also Sunni) as violating Islamic values
as well as inconsistent with our experience.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is determined to build close
strategic ties with Japan in order to put discreet checks on China's
exercise of its rapidly accumulating power. China's strategy of constant
outward pressure on its borders not only threatens to destabilize
Asia's status quo but is also pushing countries like India, Japan, and
Vietnam to strategically collaborate. Modi's priority is to ensure
stable power equilibrium in Asia.

When the history of the early part of the 21st century is
written, one of the great heroes of the People's Republic of China might
turn out to be an anonymous map-maker from the late 1940s whose work is
helping to drive increasingly dangerous confrontations today between
China and its neighbors across the South China Sea.

Everyone has their magic place. Mine is a small, dark karaoke
place in downtown Hong Kong. I came across this place by accident when
following a long-haired middle-aged guy wearing dark glasses and a
colorful shirt tucked into elegant trousers at night.

If there is a lesson to be learned from the nine short films that blend to create the magnificent
Words with Gods it is that organized religion is not the most direct way to communicate with our higher being.
I was discussing an upcoming New Orleans trip with friend and
fellow foodie Jessica Collins. She said "When I took my first bite of
turtle soup at Commander's Palace, I knew there was no other city I
could be in than New Orleans." Truer words have never been spoken.

my ideas on how Pakistan can reverse years of stagnation and resume the

Everywhere I go these days it seems I'm faced with the same
question: what is wrong with America's education system? The query is
usually followed with a defining statement that Asian students are
'kicking our butts' on the international exams. But are they correct?

When Xi assumed office, people once hoped he would usher in
democracy, but what actually happened was much stronger suppression of
speech and greater thought control. He seems, so to speak, like a
captain of a ship in distress who is hardening his resolve to deny his
passengers the liberty to act on their own. In the end it is only the
Chinese people who can decide which way China will go. But it is certain
that the conclusion of this battle of Xi's will have an enormous effect
on those of us outside China.

The shale gas boom that has revved the U.S. economy over the past
decade could spread to other parts of the energy-hungry world. But,
