TAIWAN: CULTURE, SOCIETY, HISTORY

TOPICS AND READINGS FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 11

TOPICS
Well, Taiwanese people are still prospering, complaining, playing baseball, and trying to get recognized by the rest of the world. Today is our summing-up day, and in addition to returning to baseball at a different era, we look at some of the remaining frustrations and at the size and shape cast by The Shadow.
