CULTURE: Outcome of Hu's Visit: We Get Pandas Longer?

At last night's state dinner, Obama announced that China, which has been loaning us the creatures under an agreement that expired last month, will let them remain in the National Zoo for five more years, reports the New York Times. "The Chinese and American people work together and create new opportunities together every single day," said Obama.
