Quoting form the article, ''"By 2008 for the city’s 12 million residents, pollution had become not only an inescapable health and quality-of-life issue, but a political issue tied in with the Summer Olympics scheduled for August 2008."'' The first date is 2008 which is the future but we use the word 'had' which is past. I suspect the first 2008 date is wrong but don't know the correct one.

Dates seem to be wrong
Quoting form the article, "By 2008 for the city’s 12 million residents, pollution had become not only an inescapable health and quality-of-life issue, but a political issue tied in with the Summer Olympics scheduled for August 2008." The first date is 2008 which is the future but we use the word 'had' which is past. I suspect the first 2008 date is wrong but don't know the correct one. Derek Harkness 20:39, 29 December 2007 (CST)
