This is the kind of post I've been wanting to read on China, and the earthquake, but I didn't know that until I read it. James Fallows, the Atlantic writer currently living in China, provides photographic evidence:
The masses in China are overwhelming; the people in them are vividly and irrepressibly individual.
Every person killed in China was an individual, someone's daughter or son. James Fallows makes a point of the obvious, and tragic. Too often that is forgotten in the rush for raw numbers.
