Discussion about the Olympics in Beijing

Tonight we assess the Beijing Olympics at its half-way point. Even before the games started there was criticism of the selection of Beijing due to China's human rights record. Since then China has had to deal with the fatal stabbing of the father of the U.S. men's volleyball coach at a tourist site, the air pollution in Beijing and empty seats at some of the events. Dr. Phillips recently returned from a month in China.
