    I note you are not covering the Chinese civil war. I loved the writing of this day's article, since it sounds like a bad translation from the Chinese: "It is probable that, having gained nation-wide popular reactions, the radical master minds want to compose matters temporarily until they are ready for the next move, but it may be that they are now unable to quell the storm. It should be realized that this was not a sporadic incident but was devised by extremely brainy men, having definite objectives, which they are moving cleverly to obtain by a graduated process." I bet you could have done a lot with "extremely brainy men".

    Sounds like AI. I'm assuming the NYT's China coverage is inaccurate in the extreme, and the names are all wrong, and it feels too much like work for me.
