A woman ducks under crime scene tape in front of a New York city house once occupied by a famous gangster, Tuesday, June 18, 2013, in New York. The work started Monday at the home of James Burke, a Lucchese crime family associate known as "Jimmy the Gent." He was the inspiration for Robert De Niro's character in the 1990 Martin Scorsese movie "Goodfellas." Burke died behind bars in 1996, two decades after authorities say he masterminded a nearly $6 million robbery at New York's Kennedy Airport, one of the largest cash thefts in American history. The Queens house is still owned by the Burke family, but others now live there. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

In this June 18, 2013 photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, China's President Xi Jinping addresses a conference on the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's (CPC) campaign aimed at boosting ties between CPC members and the public, in Beijing. China’s leadership wants to show a cynical public that it’s modernizing and serious about graft, but it appears to be favoring a top-down ideological campaign - with study sessions, self-criticism and propaganda - over imposing real checks on power. That worries many observers, not only because they doubt it will work, but because the tactic appears to be ripped out of revolutionary leader Mao Zedong’s playbook.

In this Thursday, June 13, 2013 photo, Reconstruction Vice Minister Koichi Tani, left, and the ministry director-general Masakatsu Okamoto stand at a press conference as they apologize on the ministry's senior official in charge of helping victims of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear crisis Yasuhiro Mizuno, not shown, at the ministry in Tokyo. These are perilous times for Japanese politicians who are increasingly using social media to voice their opinions and rally support - sometimes with awkward or potentially costly repercussions. In the latest flap over opinions shared or reported over social media, Mizuno was dismissed last week after he used a vulgarity to deride civil activists.
