Jiang reiterated his country's need to change when responding to a question posed by Carroll R. Bogert '83, a journalist with Newsweek magazine who asked the only question Jiang fielded directly from the audience. Bogart asked the president if he has learned anything about democracy during his state visit to the United States and from the mass protests that seem to have accompanied him on every leg of his journey...
...while I've never seen the Bogart classic, it doesn't take long for me to realize that, being the responsible reporter that I am, I have no choice but to go the bar-hopping route: with the pending prohibition of alcohol at state-run Massachusetts colleges and Dean of Students Archie C.
