Short, stocky, in his 60s, Teng was believed badly crippled in the Chinese civil war, still has a limp and a nervous tic when he speaks-which does not keep him from speaking often and abrasively. No stranger to the Russians, he attended two previous Moscow meetings on the split-in 1957 and in 1960. A veteran of Mao's Long March to Yenan in the 1930s, Teng came to prominence...
