Light at end of the tunnel
Members of the public for the first time have it on the record. Not only that, Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam- kuen made the pledge during a debate millions witnessed personally.

Opera must find its voice
Some pieces are best played adagio rather than presto.

Leong ideas not taboo
The release of Alan Leong Kah-kit's platform on political reforms immediately encountered a campaign of severe criticisms from the pro-Beijing united front.

Victims of safer mines
You know something is wrong when a government crows about the fact around 7,500 miners died last year.

It is often considered that Americans just do not get irony. That would appear to be the case as the US State Department launches another series of broadsides through its annual global human rights reports.

The irony has certainly not been lost on China's state media, which have been quick to wax indignant at the United States.
