"Hsu" is pronounced /shoo/, or probably more like /shyoo/. It's modern (i.e. Pinyin) spelling would be "Xu".

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."

Issue 3 in Ohio was a sleeper - there was almost no campaigning on it and literally half of the voters didn't know anyting about it. The ballot language made it sound like it was intended to increase the availability of healthcare insurance. It's passage means nothing.
