The Chinese Olympics May Be Hazardous to Your Health

July 22, 2008 |

News out of China is that in the area where the Olympics will be held in less than three weeks they are shutting down industries that emit large amounts of pollutants and restricting the use of automobiles to reduce the amount of smog in the air.  Judge Robert Newsom who recently returned from a trip to China says the smog is as bad as we have heard.  Visibility in some cities was as little as one or two hundred yards.  You would not see even large buildings from a distance.  Newsom, who runs for exercise, is concerned it will be bad for the health of the athletic competitors.  He was in China by invitation to speak to law students.  They didn’t understand why we have juries.  Communism is intimidating.  He said ordinary citizens and their regular police interact on a friendly basis, but there are military police on the corners. They never smile.       Bbradford@neto.com
