Kanayama is sure that his pupils will pass the test, and he hopes to build a mass-education plant: a channel with a long series of electrified tin fish. Small trout passing through it will get scare after scare and emerge fully trained for life in a dangerous river. But the biologist is still bothered. Why should successful students grow to bright-colored maturity only to be caught on an angler's hook? "I have become so fond of the lovely rainbow trout," he says with a tender smile, "that I may start another project to teach them...

That, presumably, was for the benefit of the U.S.-supported South Vietnamese. Next was Russia's turn: "The Kremlin counted on keeping China in its power and, by this, dominating Asia. But such illusions were dissipated" as a conflict arose between "Russia, which holds and which keeps, and China, which needs to grow and to take...
