Where's Tank Man?
With the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising approaching, Frontline aired a new documentary about its most iconic figure and his uncertain fate.
Sadly I fear he may be here.
Could one of those posable Asian corpses be him? At Atlanta's very own Boisfeuillet Jones Civic Center?
Arm pulled back in a pitcher's wind up? Crouched like The Thinker? Or is that him split in two on the Premier Exhibitions Inc. logo? His arms mockingly set akimbo in a posthumous satire of his nervous slouch? His undefiant defiance? And of it's apparent futility?
Is that what life-like corpses can teach?
