...Year, three of our Hong Kong correspondents brought distinctively different and personal points of view to the task of reporting on Teng Hsiao-p'ing and China's New Long March. Bureau Chief Marsh Clark had recently completed a three-year assignment in Moscow. He found it easier to get information on the Chinese Communists than the Soviets. One reason: the famed wall posters, which, says Clark, "tell us much about how the Chinese people feel these days about their leaders." Adds Clark: "On a trip to the mainland I found the officials engagingly candid about the conditions...
...there was condescending benevolence on America's part, there was also a deep cultural fascination?on both sides. Eventually many Americans seemed to have found in Chinese society forgotten revolutionary hopes transplanted from their own, and many Chinese discovered an unsuspected delight (even Mao finally did) in the mobility and openness of American society, the antithesis of China's own introspective and hierarchical world. In the late 1970s, many Americans are inclined to forget their view of the Chinese, during the Korean War, as a menacing ant-people in quilted jackets swarming across the Yalu River and brainwashing American innocents...

Broadly, the premise of the "me decade" view is that great numbers of people are disdaining society to pursue existence as narcissistic massage buffs, om-sayers, encounter groupies and peacocks. The type is to be found, true, but the number seems very small. A thousand times as many Americans are to be found at any time -around hospitals, churches, offices, schools, neighborhoods -all as lost as ever in the volunteerism that has been a striking phenomenon of the national character since Tocqueville came meandering about. Thank...
...scientific meeting in Los Angeles last month, Yalow described some recent work with lab animals. Using the radioimmunoassay techniques for which she won her prize, she and a co-worker at The Bronx, N.Y., Veterans Administration Hospital found a possible link between obesity and the shortage of a brain chemical. Grossly fat mice seem to have smaller amounts of the hormone cholecystokinin than their skinner littermates. In other words, the hormone may be suppressing rodent appetites. Tentative though those findings were, Yalow discussed them with the press. She had been uncomfortable ever since...
