Another setback for the government came in February with the collapse of the Tenth Credit Cooperative, a major Taiwan savings and loan institution, and the Cathay Investment & Trust Co., linchpin of the mighty Cathay group (estimated 1984 assets: $2.5 billion). The cooperative's chairman, Tsai Chen-chou, had funneled more than $190 million from Tenth Credit to fund his own shaky business schemes. Many citizens feel that members of the ruling Kuomintang (K.M.T.) knew of the scandal but looked the other way. Indeed, Tsai and his half brother Tsai Chen-nan, chairman of the Cathay Investment & Trust Co., had been...
North was terrible in the final round. But by and large the bunkers that he hit with astounding accuracy were the ones nearest the cups. In this way, he clearly outplayed the competition. Tze-Chung Chen, a gentle-spoken Taiwanese capable of shooting 2s on par fives and 8s on par fours, performed both of these wonders and lost the championship by a stroke. So did two others.

Last week, in a startling admission, the Taiwan government said that members of its military intelligence organization were involved in Liu's murder. Two Nationalist gangsters who had reportedly confessed that they helped carry out the crime said that Colonel Chen Hu-men, a deputy department director in the intelligence bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, was aware of the plot. The colonel was arrested last week, while other Nationalist officials under suspicion were being questioned...
...prices do rise and China has to cope with major inflation, the complaints could be powerful fodder for Deng's opponents. Though no party official has publicly criticized his programs, some in the 24member Politburo are believed to have strong reservations about the policies. Chen Yun, chairman of the party's disciplinary commission, for example, is thought to favor Soviet- style economic planning and to oppose Deng's open-door policy to the West. Other party officials also distrust Deng's reforms because of their capitalistic flavor, but much of their opposition is rooted in self-interest. For Deng...
