DECATUR, GA - The recent collision of a U.S. reconnaissance plane and a
Chinese fighter off the coast of China has made Agnes Scott College
President Mary Brown Bullock very popular among the media as an expert on
Chinese culture and politics. The day after the April 1 accident, Bullock,
director of the Committee on Scholarly Communications with the People's
Republic of China, appeared on a CNN afternoon program. Since then she has
appeared on other programs on CNN, NBC and MSNBC. In her view, the first
goal of negotiations should be the safe return of the American crew.
