Lunch with Friend

June 4th Tiananmen Massacre
I knew I was getting old when I started to follow economic news, and even older now that I began to read about politics. Today marks the 21st anniversary of the June 4th Tiananmen Square Massacre. Not to speak of politics, I could barely do my multiplications table back then. But it shocked me when […]
