THE MAN WITH THE BRIEFCASEby Robert N. Going In early June yet another anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre passed with barely a notice.  How blithely we forget those tens of thousands of brave Chinese people who in peaceful defiance of their autocratic state met in the Spring of 1989 to celebrate the concept of Freedom, raised a statue to the Goddess of Democracy (an homage to our own ?Liberty Enlightening the World?) and were rewarded with tanks, and guns and death.
