Everyone's talking about Edison. In the past four days in Hong Kong, not one conversation with a friend failed to touch on it. Sitting down for lunch in the chacanting, the two guys sitting across the table were reading gossip mags with Edison pics, on the plane back, the front page news of the newspapers being read by people on both sides of me was Edison.
Through reading news on the HK MTR's internet kiosks, I have been following the election news, which says that Obama continues to lead Hillary Clinton, although an NY Times article which I read last night says that neither candidate may have enough votes to win the nomination, and the primary will be decided by superdelegates, which seem to be basically an intraparty voting committee selected in rather arbitrary fashion. The NYT article seemed to paint the superdelegate voting system as a way that Hillary may be able to snatch victory away from Obama.
By far the most interesting news of the morning, however, is that Steven Spielberg has resigned as artistic advisor to the Beijing Olympics. His main reason for quitting was due to China's lack of action to stabilize the chaos in Darfur in the Sudan. It will be extremely interesting to see how the PRC media decide to handle his resignation...Maybe they can get his non-union Mexican equivalent...
