Fruits
Beijing is abuzz with preparations for the Olympics. Here on the campus of NCUT where we are staying, the flurry of activity is especially evident, for the campus is in the heart of Beijing.
Hundreds of volunteers have been recruited, and they are given a rigorous training in English language and foreign customs. Teachers with foreign experience are being pressed into service to assist. Several of these are the NCUT faculty trained at ETSU last summer. Very gratifying.

I recognize many of those in the picture. Good to see them again. Send them my greetings.

What does tomorrow mean? It is 5:30 pm here, but at home it’s 5:00 in the morning. I leave Weihai tomorrow and make a stop in Beijing. ...
