...their last evening in the capital, the group was treated to an opera symbolizing the triumph of Communism over capitalism, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy. The next day was clear, fortunately for their schedule, since China's civil aircraft fly only in fair weather. The group enplaned for Shanghai. There the team played another exhibition match, dined on smoked duck and rice wine-a change from the ubiquitous, brightly colored orange "juice" -and became dedicated tourists. They were shown...
Chou En-lai is the guiding influence behind China's re-entry into the world scene. Unlike most other Chinese Communist leaders, Chou is sophisticated and widely traveled. He comes from a family of feudal gentry, was raised in Shanghai, had studied in Tokyo, Kyoto, Tientsin and Paris, and speaks French, fair English and some German.

Rich, Roderick and Durdin all applied for permission to open permanent bureaus in Peking...
...martial sense of loyalty to her man. She may flirt in Morocco with everything in trousers (and sometimes those in skirts, when she herself is wearing white-tie-and-tails), but in the end, she follows Gary Cooper off into the desert still wearing her stiletto heels. Again, in Shanghai Express, she gives herself to Warner Oland only to save Clive Brooks' life-and ends up getting Brooks after...
