...good one to hold; Bache's growth rate is even faster than Merrill Lynch's, and the company recently distinguished itself by raising $270 million to underwrite the Manhattan Fund started by China-born Financier Gerald Tsai Jr. Bache gained new strength by becoming a corporation; most of its 70 partners immediately became vice presidents with correspondingly high salaries plus better tax breaks and such employee benefits as pensions. The corporation no longer has to worry about a principal problem of partnership: substantial sums of money being pulled out suddenly after a partner's death. Bache...
...dialogue smacks of a vintage Saturday-afternoon serial, but his fears are well grounded. A kidnaped professor possesses a secret formula for distilling the lethal essence of the Black Hill Poppy from Tibet ("A pint can kill every living thing in London"). Fu's evil daughter (Tsai Chin) seizes the professor's daughter as hostage and undertakes the dirty deeds formerly assigned to such exotics as Anna May Wong and Myrna Loy.

Correspondent Edgar Snow dined with the Lis in 1936 and noted in his diary that Tsai Chang still remembered her Paris days and served him an excellent "meal of French cooking." Today, Li and Tsai Chang are the only husband and wife on the party Central Committee...
China's Instrumental Heritage (Professor Liang Tsai-ping and Group; Lyri-chord). A fascinating collection of Chinese folk songs, dating from the yth to 18th centuries and played on such authentic instruments as the zitherlike cheng, the hsiao ('vertical flute), and the nan-hu (violin). The wiry melodic lines, wavering and falling away, have the delicate but hypnotic fascination of ancient Chinese watercolors, and the songs have subjects to match: Wild Geese Alighting on the Sandy Shore, The Spring River in the Flowery Moonlight...
