We are looking at what the legacy will be going forward. Megan it is a huge week. They have the congress were they are going to lay out the platform but really his legacy is the question that they are going to look at. He has carved out, you do not want to so unique but a special place in china right now. He has embarked on a huge crusade against corruption. He is really focused on the economy. One thing that the piece focuses on, when you look at this legacy, is the initiative which is, by any measure, the largest Infrastructure Project in the world in history in terms of expansion away from china to all corners of the globe, ports and let th railroads, making china and integral part of everywhere outside of china. It is a massive Infrastructure Project that has a lot of risks as well. Julia
Something. But the thing thats made the biggest difference for me recently is tai cheng. Particularly with balance. Dr. Cheng is so patient. I love the tapes cause he takes his time, and he tells you if you have a little balance problem to hold on to a chair, which i did in the beginning. I was shocked at how easy it was to master. Dr. Cheng developed a unique teaching method that explains in a way that anyone can understand. Now youre holding a ball. Dont hold this to your body like so but hold it off your body rounded. He kind of americanized learning tai chi. You get three viewing angles and a simple footplacement grid so you know where your feet are gonna go. Its foolproof. Believe me, if i can do it, anybody can do it. Take it from a guys whose been dealing with aches and pains for over 40 years, it works and i love it. So as soon as you started doing tai cheng, whats the thing you noticed the first . Balance was the first thing and the flexibility. Its amazing how much thats help

When president could not have the proper word to condemn attack on the blessed city of charlottesville, virginia, by neonazis. He stood you could look at his face and his gesture in disgust, but he stood in support of that moment when donald trump could not condemn the attack that took place. Then again instead of advising the president that restraint and dignity is the call of the moment, former general kelly indulged in defending behavior of the president and made the situation even worse. Our political leaders elected by the people are deserve canning of equal digiti knee and equal respect instead of being maligned on misstated facts. That was beyond the call of the moment. Dickerson we should note that you live in charlotte. I want to turn to the book now, you write in it that in your american story, there were many who were in america who were open and welcoming and gregarious. Give us an example of that. When we first arrived, the very first day when we arrived my two sons arrive
Editorinchief, megan murphy. We all learned a new spanish word this week. It is very important. Megan it is important to spanish roots but talked about something that is global right now, and that is the decline in connection, a common connection, a common purpose. That is the word used in spain. Would we are talking about is the conflict in spain, Catalonian Independence and what amazing shock factor and a Ripple Effect as that battle continues to rage on. It is also a global phenomenon, we are seeing the rise of populism in many parts, particularly western democracy. Are we seeing the disruption and dismantling of the bonds that have kept us together in a unifying human purpose . Carol we were embracing of the differences and that we are pushing back. Megan exactly. And now, instead of becoming a melting pot or a place where we can bring differences and still be in support of something bigger than ourselves, as up and lost . Has that been lost . The independence movement, there has b
