Andy Lau holding the Olympic Flame -- that's how the Wanbao 98 days before the Games greets the readership. It's there, the flame, now officially in PRC territory; the relay started in the Fragrant Harbor at 10 AM today.

Other headliners: illegal ticket sellers will be history in a month; all government departments now have a public phone number (see page 4); and Zhou Dong's performance takes the wraps off the new Workers' Stadium.

Around the Wanbao...
