...tour is a unique project designed to provide a group of top U.S. businessmen with an opportunity to gather information and insights into some of the principal countries of the Far East.

After Elizabeth had let a few more feelings rise, John asked the group to gather closely around her and softly massage the different parts of her body. The boy took one of her feet and noticed that her eyes were still closed. "Now slowly lift Elizabeth into the air," John said. They did, and began to rock her back and forth.
