...that they were seeing only small patches of sky. After New York Times Columnist C.L. Sulzberger left China, he wrote a wry piece last November indicating how little he had really been able to observe: "I can only boast I am the first American columnist over 60 to visit Inner Mongolia since 1949, and the first with a Greek wife to lunch in Chengchow...
