Hong Kong\u27s Future: Can the People\u27s Republic of China Invalidate the Treaty of Nanking as an Unequal Treaty?
This Note analyzes the PRC\u27s claim that, according to accepted principles of international law, it is justified in abrogating the Treaty of Nanking. The basis for the PRC\u27s position is that the treaty is not reciprocal in its terms and is the product of coercion. Therefore, according to the PRC, the Treaty is unequal and nonbinding. The first part of this Note provides the historical background surrounding the conclusion of the Treaty of Nanking. Part II briefly defines the principle of pacta sunt servanda and examines problems that arise when the rule is applied to unequal treaties. Part III presents a two-part analysis of whether execptions to pacta sunt servanda exist, and, if so, whether the Treaty of Nanking falls within the exceptions

A Supersymmetric Composite Model of Quarks and Leptons
We present a class of supersymmetric models with complete generations of
composite quarks and leptons using recent non-perturbative results for the low
energy dynamics of supersymmetric QCD. In these models, the quarks arise as
composite "mesons" and the leptons emerge as composite "baryons." The quark and
lepton flavor symmetries are linked at the preon level. Baryon number violation
is automatically suppressed by accidental symmetries. We give some speculations
on how this model might be made realistic.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX 2
Variational Principle in the Algebra of Asymptotic Fields
This paper proposes a variational principle for the solutions of quantum
field theories in which the ``trial functions'' are chosen from the algebra of
asymptotic fields, and illustrates this variational principle in simple cases.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, no figure
