    By Lindy Li, Candidate for US Congress
    (in the 7th Congressional District of PA, Oct. 14, 2015)

    Lack of income growth, the meteroic rise of education and health care costs, and discrimination in college admissions and in the workplace — Thomas Paine could very well have been describing our own era when he said that “these are the times that try men’s souls.”

  • Did Mao Say “Better to Let Half of the People Die”?

    By Xujun Eberlein

    Nearly two years ago, when I translated Yang Jisheng’s response to Dikötter’s strange comments on Tombstone, I said I was intensely interested to find out whether Mao really said “It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill,” and if he did, in what context. I received a couple of clues, but none provided the complete context, and I have been left wondering since. I even sent an email to Yang Jisheng asking if he knew about this Mao quote, but did not hear back – perhaps the email address I got from a journalist friend was no longer valid.
