Fertility rates in the United States are continuing their decades-long decline, due in large part to a steep slide in teenage pregnancies down to historic lows, according to a new government report released Thursday.

But newer statistics on birth rates suggest the decline is continuing, though not as quickly as it did in recent years when the recession accelerated trends well underway.

Max Baucus, the influential Democratic senator from Montana, is set to become the next US ambassador to China. " It’s an interesting ’ pick’ in the sense that security competition with China is heating up and he doesn’t have much of a record on security issues," said Dan Blu-menthal, director of Asian studies at the American Enterprise Institute. While Baucus will certainly get up to speed, he’s probably less likely than his predecessors to interfere with the White House and the Pentagon on military or political issues.
