Mosolova advances to play North Carolina’s Katrina Tsang this afternoon...
...Most of the pan-democrats are working toward a compromise. Chief Executive Donald Tsang hinted last week that he, too, is looking for a "middle ground," and a member of the cabinet said the final proposal, which will be voted on this summer (and requires two-thirds support to pass), must have "something for everyone." The pan-democrats are willing to trade votes for assurances that the Chief Executive will be elected by universal suffrage (and that the nomination committee will be greatly expanded, if not abolished) by 2017 and that legislature will abolish functional constituencies by 2020.

Tsang's two sons aren't interested in inheriting the family business, and her employees don't have a command of the science behind the sauces. "If I die," says Tsang, "no one will make this kind of soy sauce anymore." Just as well she has plenty of life left...
