Boys at the ballet, lovely Miss Meng and digging up Franco

Gender equity is a tricky bit of quicksilver at the National Ballet where the class of 2020 is made up of far more boys than girls. And unlike almost anywhere else, that’s a good thing. Then, the charming Miss Meng and her humungous Huawei electronics empire were in court Monday. Below that, Steve Paikin and guest Erin Kelly assay the damage done to Liberal fortunes by the blackface scandal. Lastly, the Spanish are getting ready to disinter that old reprobate General Francisco Franco and put him in a less auspicious grave. Now, if only the Chinese would plant Mao Tse Tung under the grass.
