...masterful tuna melt sandwich. One time I even saw you walk up to the microwave with a cheeseburger, two baby carrots, and a handful of Toastie Os cereal and somehow pull out what looked to be a medium rare filet mignon 45 seconds later.

After a falling-out with Mao Zedong, Wang's husband, President Liu Shaoqi, was labeled the country's "No. 1 Capitalist Roader," while the sophisticated, well-educated Wang was accused of being an American spy by the jealous Jiang Qing, Mao's wife. Publicly humiliated by the Red Guards and imprisoned in 1967, Wang was freed in 1979 to find herself a widow-Liu had died in prison 10 years earlier. Rehabilitated in 1980, she remained a faithful Party member and later founded a charity to aid impoverished...
