  1. 10 things you might not know about Chinese leaders

    In recent decades, China has transformed its economy into a powerhouse. Yet the communist country has doubled down on repression of its citizens. Enter Xi Jinping, who took over this month as China's leader. Few are expecting immediate reforms from this party stalwart with interesting relatives. Xi's father fought with communist leader Mao Zedong and was purged before the Cultural Revolution. Xi's wife is a popular folk singer.

  12. Slouching toward democracy

    Mohamed Morsi, the first freely elected president in Egypt's history, is soon to take office under circumstances that are far from ideal. While Egypt's ruling military has conceded his victory over its preferred candidate in the presidential runoff election, Ahmed Shafiq, the generals who have been running the country show no sign of being ready to give up power. Last week they issued a decree stripping the president's office of its authority over the budget, national security and most domestic matters. Meanwhile, the parliament led by Mr. Morsi's allies in the Muslim Brotherhood-backed Freedom and Justice Party was declared invalid by the country's highest court, leaving the president-elect to largely fend for himself at the head of a toothless civilian government with little power to enact the reforms it promised.
