LETTERS

"Jacques Leslie's "The Last Empire" is the best article I've read in the last 10 years—on any subject—in any magazine. It brings to focus the huge problem we have: China's massive population becoming more and more Westernized and how any decision it makes is compounded 1.3 billion times. Scary, indeed."
