...vigorously opposed the implementation of the test, which registers physical reactions under artifical stress, during the contract negotiations last fall. HPA negotiators faulted the test for its rigidity: the patrolmen argued that the test exaggerates every small physical problem, and might be used as an excuse for disqualifying basically fit patrolmen from active duty.

...week state visit by the Chinese leader to Rumania, Yugoslavia and Iran, not only constituted a brazen Chinese tweak at the Russian bear but heralded the beginning of an extraordinary new era of personalized Chinese diplomacy following more than a decade of isolationism, if not hostile xenophobia. Looking fit in an elegantly tailored tunic, Hua, 57, obviously enjoyed every minute of the affair. As well he might.
