At Shanghai's June Yamada Academy, students pay $900 for a multiweek course during which they dine at a five-star hotel and learn the difference between a fish knife and a butter knife. Meanwhile, at a Shanghai etiquette workshop for HR managers, instructor Liu Wei plucks a man out of the crowd and castigates him for his multihued pink tie. "It's a well-known fact that President Clinton's good taste in ties won him many votes," says...
