Every bit as good , if not better than the article in the current issue of FOREIGN AFFAIRS on China's "Olympic Nightmare." I recall banners in the Beijing Airport in January of 2001 touting Beijing as the site for the "08 Olympics. In our competitive world its reassuring to see that the Chinese procrastinate as much as the rest of us. Dick Hi Paull,

Let's just hope that this debutante ball won't be spoiled by an intoxicated (uninvited) guest!!! The Chinese are doing everything in their power to keep these Games calm and sporty but there seem to be a lot of people out there who want to share/steal the spot light...............................most unfortunately. We Beijingers keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. Great going, Paull. Let’s just hope that this debutante ball won’t be spoiled by an intoxicated (uninvited) guest!!!
