...President is scheduled to hold seven hours of talks with Deng, Premier Zhao Ziyang and General Secretary Hu Yaobang. Reagan and Zhao will sign at least two documents, both relatively minor: a treaty that would eliminate double taxation on U.S. companies in China, and a two-year extension of a cultural exchange agreement reached in 1979. If last-minute negotiations pay off, the two leaders will endorse a deal allowing U.S. companies to build nuclear power plants in China. The discussion has been snagged over a U.S. requirement that any country receiving American nuclear technology seek U.S. consent before reprocessing...

Hu Jiwei, director of People's Daily, was forced to resign, and Wang Ruoshui, one of the paper's three deputy editors in chief, was dismissed. Their apparent crime: printing a scholarly article eight months ago that dared to suggest that "alienation," a term reserved by Karl Marx for decadent capitalism, might actually be applicable to Chinese socialism as well...
...biological information about wolves, the film re-creates most of the book's incidents with a minimum of fictional embellishment while sustaining a dramatic momentum of its own. Most important, it is in every sense true to the spirit of Mowat's writing, which mixed self-deprecating hu mor, outrage over man's misunderstanding and misuse of the wilds, and a sense of selfdiscovery...
