The opening date of the Summer Olympics in Beijing is drawing closer.
The city has put in new subway lines, and taken on trophy architectural projects and an urban renewal campaign that has transformed much of the old city.
The games will be held during the summer's wet season, and Chinese officials are so concerned about rain interrupting the games, they've devised a plan to manipulate the city's weather.
New York Observer writer Tom Scocca lives in Beijing, and wrote an article called "The People's Weather" in the April issue of Plenty Magazine. He spoke with Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott about China's efforts to keep the Olympic Games from getting rained out.
