...taking the customary day off, thousands of workers, students and soldiers labored on the rebuilding of the gray stone homes that line the capital city's narrow alleyways; an estimated 30,000 houses were damaged by the July 28 earthquake. In Kweilin, southwest China's poetic wonderland of rivers, caves and mountains, mourning meant memorial meetings and work. Long lines of students one day walked sobbing along the main street of Kweilin with white paper wreaths for Chairman Mao. They were followed by peasants hauling grass and fodder on bamboo yokes, while motorized carts filled with building stones...

Each endeavor requires a frame of reference; but since he has no definitions, he can have no conclusions. The only possible meaning his unlimited overview can give us is an Alice in Wonderland rule of revolving logic: that the irrationality of madness is such that it can never really be defined or predicted, like an enfant terrible who out of whim kicks down any castle of philosophical building blocks that the inquirer might care to construct around him. Which is a perfectly valid...
