...went out when the Cultural Revolution began. The upper echelon of the diplomatic corps was ordered home to undergo intensive reindoctrination in Mao's thoughts, and repeated sessions of selfcriticism. When the Ambassador to Pakistan returned to Peking, for example, he was compelled to kneel at the airport, bow to the masses and confess that he had picked up bourgeois habits...

But as he built, he found he could not keep from inventing things: an underwater device that guides his boat safely to shore, or a collapsible bow, for hunting on horseback...
