James Watson,1962 Nobel Prize for medicine wrote to the letter to the Editor. Published by the Washington Post, August 5, 2008 on page A18:
"I don't believe now,nor have I ever believed, that the color of a person's skin, where a person comes from, a person's accent or any such human characteristic provides any indication whatsoever of that person's intelligence or potential to success in life." I share his proper judgment 100%. However,I have encountered some folks who would regard me as an Asian forever. That maybe true from the face value but not in line with the credo of Christianity and the Constitution of the United States.
Page A1 Headline as the Sequel to the above: Bush says it is important to engage China. Such statement is the reflection of Olympic Games' Motto: One World,One Dream and One Human Race as the endorsement of the letter cited above. Let us honor all folks regardless of race,color, creed,national origin and age in particular.
