But within days of the closing ceremony, a public protest demonstration against the government in a Beijing suburb signaled that the grace period was over. The string of disasters that has befallen the nation since then will only add to questions about where the limits of the long-suffering public's patience lie. This week, anger over the tainted-milk-powder scandal was palpable at one of Beijing's main Children's Hospitals, where hundreds of anxious parents were lined up with their toddlers waiting to see a doctor...
