...Universal Television Group chairman and could not get me into Neverland. I wrote Jackson an e-mail about my plans to serve as a curator who would contextualize Trio's role as a pop-culture arbiter and other phrases I remembered from the Matthew Barney exhibit. I didn't mention my real plan: to see if I could get ridiculous garbage on TV. Jackson liked the idea so much that Trio made the My Trio concept a quarterly gimmick, with Quentin Tarantino taking over in the fall. Tarantino got top billing on the press release...

And it's unrealistic to expect Hu to take any initiative on those fronts because his authority does not reside in his credentials as a visionary or ideologue. Having been on the losing side of the defining ideological battle of the 20th century, China's rulers since Mao Zedong have learned an unequivocal lesson: no one, not even Party leaders, can afford to use ideological solutions to resolve the country's social problems. Hu's power is solely dependent upon his legitimacy within the Party...
