Now Peking fears that its deteriorating relations with Viet Nam will push Hanoi further into the embrace of Moscow.

"I want to bring the fundamentals of prosperity to those who want to clear out their self-limiting attitudes and conditioning." As a teaching aid, he holds up-and argues with-a hand puppet he calls El Protecto, which is supposed to represent a little voice in the back of people's minds that tells them they cannot succeed. He inveighs against "doodoo barriers," fixed ideas that people have about themselves-ideas that restrict creativity...
