...chronicle of his life and career, a newsman's perspective on major events in recent Chinese history - from the Cultural Revolution to the launch of China's economic transformation - and an encomium to his adopted home, Hong Kong. Sinclair and tales of drinking go together like Scotch and a beer chaser, and passages of Tell Me a Story also document his struggles with alcohol, which lent poetry to his reputation yet almost certainly contributed to the old lion's final vanquishment by cancer last month at the age of 64. Viewing him through posterity's filter, it is clear that...

[But] I'm a beer-drinking, television-watching, T-shirt jerk at home. Not someone ensconced in Kierkegaard and Spinoza...
...worst thing you can remember. To wit: What if a previously unknown agent of evil were to destroy a world-famous New York City edifice? Not the World Trade Center, this time, but the Statue of Liberty - the Lady's head is tossed like a used beer can onto a lower Manhattan street. And the Statue decapitator is not a team of al-Qaeda operatives but a scaly, 300-ft. monster, an American Godzilla...
