“THE CHINESE KNOW: ________________________”
By Shirliey Fung
If you run into someone you know on the street in Taiwan, he’s likely to greet you by
asking, “Have you eaten?” The polite thing to do is say yes, but even if you haven’t, it’s
likely that you’ll be having a real meal soon. In Taiwan, good food is never hard to find.
Restaurants are three or four to a block, and outdoor grocery markets flourish like
dandelions after a rainstorm. Outdoor cafés line the streets during the day, while
stands selling snacks are a big attraction of the popular night markets, where you can
buy anything from Hello Kitty toasters to leather shoes.
Cities like Paris and Florence come close to competing on the food front, but they can’t
surpass the sheer variety that a walk down any street in Taipei reveals. From one
direction comes the rich smell of frying bread, from another the aroma of boiled pork
dumplings and from yet another fermented or “smelly” bean curd, a Chinese favorite.
Even the raw fruits and vegetables in the markets give off their own sweet smell.

TEN YEARS OF FEAR, GRIEF, REVENGE AND RESILIENCE
The Samaritan
By John Maguire
It is one of the day’s most familiar and most chilling images: rescue workers carrying
the beloved Fire Department chaplain Father Mychal Judge from the rubble. But the
man nearest Judge was no rescue worker: he was a 28-year-old associate at Goldman
Sachs. Seeing papers flying in the air outside his office, he headed into the chaos on
the ground. Just after the first tower fell, he found the men struggling to carry the dying
Judge. It was too late to perform CPR, so John Maguire started back toward Ground
Zero. Then the second tower collapsed. “I jumped under a truck, and everything went
black,” he recalls. “I thought, ‘I guess this is how it’s going to end.’ “Maguire eventually
made it to the apartment of his sister, who showed him the photo the next day: “It
seemed surreal.” He found solace in an unexpected place. Recalled to active duty, the
West Point graduate served as a civic-affairs officer in Iraq from 2006 to 2007. Doing
so was his therapy, alleviating a crushing sense of futility. Today, Maguire is back at
Goldman. “(I) because I commute through that site every day.”
