News Anchoring
I really doubt there will be another period of time
quite like the 12 months spanning June 1989 to June 1990
in my lifetime. The dissolution of the Soviet
Union to the freeing of Nelson Mandela to the haze left
over from the June 1989 student movement in Beijing,
this was an incredible time in history and one where I
was privileged to have a front row seat as a junior
(very junior) anchor at Metro News in Hong Kong. I
was 19 years old when most of these recordings were
made.

""Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and
so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the
young of our country."
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the
consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another
day."
