...main files came from TIME'S Hong Kong bureau. In spite of the thaw in U.S.-China relations and the bureau's proximity to the mainland, a mere 18 miles as the wu-ya (crow) flies, our correspondents in the crown colony must piece together news from travelers, diplomats, refugees, provincial Chinese newspapers and radio broadcasts.

While that would scarcely be an achievement to crow about, it would mark a considerable improvement over the first quarter.
