In this task, Wen and his economic team face an awesome challenge. Every major economic divide in China–between urban and rural residents, coastal and inland provinces, skilled and unskilled workers–has expanded markedly in the past decade....

Bobby Bowles of Cloverleaf, Texas, was handing out grenades to his squad before curling up with a well-thumbed copy of the men’s magazine Forum....

That something, we now know, was a form of viral encephalitis never before seen in the Western Hemisphere.
