We’ve got a world in motion right now in a whole lot of power centers.  A purge of princes in Saudi Arabia.  North Korea threatening nuclear hellfire.  A US president threatening back.  Russia under investigation in Washington.  China, going openly now for global eminence.  Washington Post foreign affairs writer David Ignatius is watching it all.  And he’s written a new thriller on US and Chinese spies duking it out for dominance.  This hour, On Point:  David Ignatius, on the world we see and the world we don’t. —Tom Ashbrook
