We will never know. Just as if Reagan hadn't caused the downfall of the Soviet Union, but instead had sought to make them our moral equivalents, and they would still be in business today, we would never know that the alternate course would have brought about the end of their tyranny. But, on the other hand, maybe free trade will end the tyranny in China, and bring about a rule of law. But, so far, things are off to a bad start. WTO is really causing them problems, and may accelerate their downfall. No one is shopping anymore, everyone thinks that with WTO, some great change is imminent, and there will be more goods in the streets. But, right now, there is only streets full of the same ol' goods, but no shoppers.

A really weird obituary on Chester W. Nimitz, Jr. (Rear-Admiral)! This from today's Boston Globe: Chester W. Nimitz Rear Admiral Chester W., age 86, and his wife, Joan Labern Nimitz, age 89, of Needham and Wellfleet, MA, and formerly of Boca Grande, FL, by mutual consent on January 2, 2002 at their home in Needham. No memorial service is planned and a private burial will take place in Wellfleet, MA. Contributions to Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, 1055 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02115. Published in the Boston Globe on 1/6/2002. Flowers & gifts \| Charities \| Guest Book This is the son of Number 6 (I think) of the "Century of Lions." What the hell do you make of this? How do two people die "by mutual consent"? The Globe has nothing more than this. I have searched the web and can find nothing else on this, which should be a fairly notable news story in its own right given the name and historical connection. Weird! JC
