...simply let Holiday describe it in his own words: “This is a picture of my castle. It’s the only dorm off campus, who cares. the ‘Go Irish’ was painted on before the 2000 Nebraska game and was broadcast all over the country. Living here is cool but you have to either beg or pay a girl to come out and see you unless your a stud...
...told the audience, "I'm curious," and he allowed his social and cultural curiosity fairly free rein.

Propaganda organs barred broadcast media from reporting Zhao's death and instructed China's official newspapers to bury a one-sentence notice of his passage on their inside pages. The government did agree to allow a memorial service at a Beijing burial ground where many senior leaders are interred, but Hu conveyed no message of condolence to Zhao's family. Hu instead spent the week launching a campaign to "consolidate the ruling status" of the Communist Party. His most significant comments in the days...
