"I saw the President! He’s got a set of binoculars." He'd rather have a respirator for that Beijing smog, I'm sure.

I am not an expert on Australian media, but I am pretty sure the network I was listening to was the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Company?) on Radio Australia and I think Australia has several networks. Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise to hear live coverage of the opening ceremony for an hour or so until the signal faded out. So I was hoping that those fast Internet connection could try the Australian ABC network and find something. Just a hunch. I think someone here said the BBC has live streaming coverage but has blocked it for U.S. viewers.

They said the little tyke was a survivor of the Szechuan Earthquake.
Good for him!
