Extra bases: The Olympic Games haven’t even started yet but the protesting has. A small group of Americans unfurled pro-Tibetan banners yesterday in Tiananmen square. Authorities apparently used restraint when dealing with the matter, but once the spotlight is on China that restraint might turn to forceful action.
