First sentence: In the heady days of the student protests that led to the massacre at Tiananmen Square in China in 1989, a telling indication of how much circumstances seemed to be changing in the direction the student leaders wanted was the sudden lifting of curbs on the press, as Chinese print and electronic journalists were for the first time able to report with considerable freedom on the social upheaval.
