Dan in La Crosse

A Midwestern voice in the Midwest. Once I lived in China and was Dan in China, a Midwestern voice in the Far East. Now I live in La Crosse and am Dan in La Crosse, a Midwestern voice in the Midwest. How novel.

The People's Game

Read the fantastic story by this name in the NYT magazine: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/23/magazine/23CHINABB.html. It's about the basketball craze sweeping China, and the cultural facets of basketball that historically have made it appealing to the people and acceptable to the Party. I'm working on an essay right now about this campus' curious obsession with the Minnesota Forest Wolves, an obsession that took root long before I, an actual Minnesotan, arrived.
