...much noted for a sense of humor, but there must have been at least a glimmer of a smile when they elected a former U.S. Air Force colonel as an alternate member of the party's Central Committee. The colonel in question is Dr. Chien Hsueh-shen, a product of M.I.T. and Caltech. Chien, who was commissioned in the U.S.A.F. during World War II, headed a missile-research team in Germany at war's end. In 1955, he was expelled from the U.S. as a suspected Communist. Since then he has made important contributions to China...
Peking did not mention that 74 of Red China's top scientists and engineers hold degrees from American universities. Indeed, the chief of Peking's missile development program, Dr. Tsien Hsue-shen, 57, was once Goddard Professor of Jet Propulsion at Caltech. A graduate of Shanghai's Chiaotung University, Tsien came to the U.S. in 1935 as a mechanical engineer, won a master's degree at M.I.T. the next year, then went on to Caltech. Commissioned a colonel in the Air Force during World War II, he headed a brain trust in Germany...
Tsien Hsue-shen's Degrees. Yet any picture of Caltech solely as thinker and M.I.T. solely as doer is out of focus. While M.I.T. draws no less than $126 million of its annual operating budget of $178 million from work for the Defense Department and NASA, Caltech has 181 federal research contracts and operates NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will spend $242 million this year. Caltech's practical knowledge made JPL a pioneer in tactical missiles, in launching the first U.S. satellite, in making a soft landing on the moon and in taking close-up pictures...

...actors can't control their movement, the effect is alternately annoying and absurd. Dan Deitch as Yang Sun, the unemployed flyer, just tries to do too much with his body. He contorts across the stage, face grimacing and body tensed. Everyone knows that Yang is a bastard, so Shen Te's love for him can only be based on sheer sex appeal. Deitch, by equating gruffness and stiff limbs with masculinity makes his appeal to Shen Te incomprehensible...
