-Beijing, China - The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, arrived in China bearing gifts. One was a brown horse named Vesuvius, the pride of the French cavalry, except his name is Italian - but he wasn't a Greek Trojan horse - all of which must have confused the Chinese - particularly when he segued into Mandarin saying it was time to "make our planet great again." This guy is a comer.
-Ottawa, Canada - The hottest book selling in Washington is "Fire & Fury" and is flying off the shelves. But the same title was published in Canada ten years ago which applied to the British bombing of German cities. This book is having a renaissance north of the border, but, alas, some of these may be returned.
