SPITTING IMAGE

Here's a NYT story about the now-official anti-spitting campaign in China. As much as I love China and many things about its traditions, this is one thing I won't be sorry to see go. One note: I had already noticed that the morning ritual of public phlegm-flinging was much less common in contemporary China than it was in the time, immediately after the Cultural Revolution, when I was first there.
