...latest story raises the abiding Watergate question: What did we already know, and when did we know it? Hersh, 45, who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for his expose of the My Lai massacre in Viet Nam, adds new details to the saga, based on interviews and previously unpublished information gathered by the Watergate special prosecutor's office. But most of the ground has been well turned before. Indeed, it was first explored by Hersh who, while a reporter with the New York Times, in 1973 revealed the extent of Kissinger's role in the wiretappings...
Chinabound is anecdotes. It is the "oriental serutability" of "Ed Reischauer," the six-week bike ride before the first visit to China, encounters with Chou En-Lai, and rounding up Chinese journalists at their homes by jeep for a Douglas Mac Arthur press conference which was suddenly rescheduled.

During my visit in February 1973, I said to him: "I think that the Premier notices that I am especially inhibited in his presence right...
...risk takers are immigrants who came to America to reap the benefits of its entrepreneurial climate. Sirjang Lai Tandon, 39, left his native India in 1960. In 1975 he founded a firm that makes disc drives for personal computers that are sold by Radio Shack and other companies. Last year his firm had sales of $54.2 million. Jesse I. Aweida, 50, the Palestinian-born founder of Storage Technology in Louisville, Colo., turned the computer memory company into a $922 million-a-year business. Both Altos Computer Systems in San Jose, Calif., and Osborne Computer Corp. in Hayward, Calif., were founded...
