Such a prohibition was soon neutralized by a decision to give masses of them Vietnamese citizenship, thus making deeper and steadier Chinese control over the Viet Nam economy. There is no proof of the devotion of new Vietnamese citizens of Chinese origin to our cause.

Imagine for a moment that psychophysiologists are ultimately as successful in fact as they are in their wildest dreams--that they are able to understand memory and behavior on the molecular level. This would mean that social relations could be reduced to an intricate but thoroughly comprehensive set of stimuli and responses. If, for example, Lyndon Johnson's neural chemistry was understood in detail, and if all his sources of influence and advice were monitored, it might have been possible...
