From Round to Square (and back)

For The Emperor's Teacher, scroll down (↓) to "Topics." It's the management book that will rock the world (and break the vase, as you will see). Click or paste the following link for a recent profile of the project: http://magazine.beloit.edu/?story_id=240813&issue_id=240610

A new post appears every day at 12:05* (CDT). There's more, though. Take a look at the right-hand side of the page for over four years of material (2,000 posts and growing) from Seinfeld and country music to every single day of the Chinese lunar calendar...translated. Look here ↓ and explore a little. It will take you all the way down the page...from round to square (and back again).
*Occasionally I will leave a long post up for thirty-six hours, and post a shorter entry at noon the next day.

...and tell you that today was an absolutely pivotal day in modern Chinese history—exactly ninety-five years ago.

I once read a fine scholarly analysis of the protests, urban strikes and general tumult caused by the May Fourth Movement (五四)

Where did I read that? 

Well, in the work of Jean Chesneaux, of course. It all stems from that pesky Treaty of Versailles, as it turns out.

Never forget that, for all of my diverse and global interests, I am a French Bulldog Puppy.
