Connections

David mentions:
"Owen Lattimore, an expert on Central Asia (and an uncle of mine) observed
that when he first went to Outer Mongolia in the 1920's there was
essentially no tooth decay at all, and sugar was unknown.  Within one
generation, Russian influence increased to the point where everyone was
drinking heavily sugared tea, and everyone had rotten teeth."


Is that the same Owen Lattimore who was villified by HUAC/McCarthy types for
having helped "lose" China?

The connections on this list never cease to amaze me!
