For more on Miss Davison--the daughter of a famous songwriter I never heard of--see our post here; here are my favorite constestants.

China hasn't been a Communist country for a long time, if it ever was; I believe that its government consumes a smaller portion of its GDP than ours does. But China's hosting the Miss World pageant might be as good an occasion as any to mark the demise of any pretense of being a Communist state.
