　　Water and Venice have always had a complicated relationship. The world's most famously wet city is also one of its most famously endangered ones, forever being flooded by its signature canals. Even since the 14th century, Italian engineers have dreamed of ways to control the water. Now a solution may be at hand. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Venice Mayor Paola Costa attended a stone-laying ceremony in May to begin work on the long-delayed Moses project, a vast series of sea gates that may finally keep the sodden city dry.

　　It is easy to lose sight of India's remarkable achievements in information technology amid the cries of alarm from Silicon Valley about America's jobless recovery. No less an authority than Intel Corp. founder Andrew S. Grove warns that American information technology could follow the path of steel into decline. With virtually every major U.S. corporation offshoring operations to India-especially such services as law, accounting, design, and medicine--a growing chorus is asking whether India's high-tech success is a direct threat to American prosperity. The remarkable high-tech rise of India is a much-less-told tale than the ascendancy of China. Yet its impact may be greater. India may soon bring to services the kind of deflation now seen in manufacturing. Thanks to global broadband connections, the tens of thousands of English-speaking professionals graduating every year from India's first-rate universities are plugging into the U.S. economy. Broadband arbitrages cost across global time zones, and India's high-tech workers and service providers are paid about a tenth of what Americans get. India represents a new internationally competitive environment for America. The U.S. needs a public policy that recognizes this reality and improves science and engineering education, from elementary school right up through graduate education. The U.S. must also reverse its long decline in academic research spending. It must keep its venture capital and financial markets healthy to fund the startups that are essential to innovation and growth. And, despite terrorist threats, it must remain open to the best immigrants, students, and businesspeople from around the world. India's rise can threaten America or push it to a higher technological and economic level. That is up to America.
