THE TANK MAN


On June 5, 1989, one day after the Chinese army's deadly crushing of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, a single, unarmed young man stood his ground before a column of tanks on the Avenue of Eternal Peace. Captured on film and video by Western journalists, this extraordinary confrontation became an icon for the struggle of freedom around the world.

This is one of the best episodes of Frontline I have ever seen. Check out the full length documentary here
It's long, but well worth it...

LOA SUMMER CLASSES...

So this is pretty fucking awesome if you're into awesome shit... Harvard and WGBH have teamed up with Michael Sandel (a political philosophy professor) to make his classes freely available online and on public television.

"His book and course titled "Justice" relates the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of our time: bank bailouts, equality and inequality, taxes, immigration, affirmative action, the role of markets, national service, same-sex marriage, the pace of religion in politics, and the ethical questions we confront in our everyday lives..."

Oh, and there are a couple of babes in the class so enroll now... Here's the site, there's no account needed just push play... www.justiceharvard.org
