Lucky Man
This is the lead to an article in Xinhuanet, a Chinese online publication from the Xinhua News Agency, the official state and worldwide news agency in China.
Probably the most sympathetic, informative and human coverage of this story in any media outlet. This heart disease stuff really can and does strike without warning. Bill is indeed a lucky man. And even communists have a sense of humanity from time to time. Maybe it's the flip-side of their political cult of personality, but they do care about people in a way that the mercenaries in U.S. media don't. Most media here just wondered whether Clinton's recuperation and inability to campaign for John Kerry woud change the presidential elections. But wonder of wonders, even Dick Cheney has a heart.
