BEIJING MORNING
It's a little clearer on this second morning of my current trip to Beijing; which means that the ever-present grey fog of particulates and smog is somewhat thinner than yesterday and I can almost see the mountains to the west and north of the city. Looking up from the horizon, I see blue sky as little as about 20 degrees above the hazy, indistinct darkening of the sky that marks the edge of the city. This is a fine clear June day in Beijing, which suffers mightily from the hydrocarbon foundation of its flourishing economy. Note to human race: Find new source of energy.
