In Eureka the taverns sell a T shirt bearing the words WRANGLERS: WESTERN RANCHER AGAINST NO GOOD LIBERAL ENVIRONMENTALIST S___HEADS.

The youngest daughter, Deng Rong, 48, has been the most visible of the children because she was Deng Xiaoping's official translator. She is the most cosmopolitan and elegantly dressed of the Deng daughters. In recent years, Deng Rong made a career--and loads of money--writing a biography of her father. Her eldest sister, Deng Lin, 55, has enjoyed similar financial success. She is an artist whose work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Macau, Tokyo...
