some questions for Henry

[Daniel]

Henry's way of drawing on the full span of Chinese history to discuss
contemporary issues is so interesting. Yes, the world does have a different
appearance depending on the culture from which it is viewed. Well, that's
obvious.

Since you're on the list, Henry, I can't resist asking you what you think of
Needham's work, "Science and Civilization in China." I've also read
Fairbank's new (relatively new) survey of Chinese history. Would you mind
saying a few words about these two?

Much obliged,
Quincy
