Rosalynn (pronounced Rose-lun) likes campaigning on her own. She considers it "a waste of my time" to travel with her husband, observing that "it's a big country out there, with so many people to meet."

Apparently La Tour remained a crusty squire...
...artistic director of the Central Philharmonic Orchestra is Li Teh-lun. He is a round-faced, portly man who smiles when asked how the Cultural Revolution affected his orchestra and replies: "That is a long story." When pressed gently for a response, he says: "There was a change in the content but not the form of the orchestra." Then he explains how the orchestra no longer plays Western music publicly but rather adapts the best from Western music into new Chinese compositions.
