...Time Inc. journalists traveling through Asia on a TlME-sponsored news tour. The group was led by Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, Corporate Editor Ray Cave and Chief of Correspondents Richard Duncan. In the past seven years, Deng, who was once sent into internal exile as a "capitalist-roader," has introduced broad and dramatic economic reforms that have decentralized decision-making and placed more reliance on free-market forces. In mid-September, he consolidated political backing for his reforms with significant personnel changes in which many of China's aging leaders were retired and younger officials moved...
...After being purged by Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution as a capitalist roader and an archrevisionist, Deng rejoined the Chinese leadership in 1972-73 under the auspices of Premier Zhou Enlai. It was just at that time that the U.S. arrived permanently in Beijing with its Liaison Office, headed in 1974 by George Herbert Walker Bush. When these two men met, Deng?the short, tough revolutionary from Sichuan in central China?and Bush?the tall, ambitious and smart ?litist from America's Northeast?the chemistry was immediate.

...just past six on the cold morning of Sept. 29 when the dark green Mitsubishi Pajero off-roader pulled up at the back of Russborough House, a Palladian mansion outside the town of Blessington in County Wicklow, Ireland.

"I chuckle through his speeches, thinking, 'This guy's got guts.'" Heston's rhetoric on homosexuality, feminism, multiculturalism and the skin color of the Founding Fathers has made it onto the website of white supremacist David Duke. (Headline: CHARLTON HESTON SPEAKS UP FOR THE WHITE MAJORITY!) But does it help the average duck hunter to preserve the sporting life? Or even the Second Amendment fundamentalist who believes, as Heston does, that any infringement of the "right...
...August 1967, with China in tumult, he and Liu were put on public trial. Liu's leg was broken in the spectacle, and he later died of pneumonia in a makeshift prison in the city of Kaifeng. At the trial Red Guards decried Deng as a "capitalist roader," a "fascist" and a "traitor" and shouted, "Cook the dog's head in boiling oil!" Confronted by such rantings for hours on end, Deng simply removed his hearing aid. What saved him from Liu's fate, evidently, was a simple thing as well. While Mao had always despised the patrician...
