China’s Awe-inspiring Coming Out Party

Forty-two
China’s Awe-inspiring Coming Out Party

Congratulations to China, who — despite predictions of epic failure, and regardless of what may happen in the coming days (from heavy smog to heavy-handed tactics with the press) — just schooled the entire world in how to stage an epic spectacle with the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. All kinds of awesome.

More pics at NYTimes.

Update: More stunning photos at the Boston Globe.
