<p> BUT HAS HE WATCHED REDS? Remember Zhao Ziyang, former
general secretary of China's Communist Party? He was last seen
in public on May 19, 1989, during a tearful meeting with
student hunger strikers in Tiananmen Square. Then came the
crackdown and Zhao's expulsion from the party. Friends now
report that Zhao is at peace with his current situation. Small
wonder. He may have lost his chauffeured Mercedes 500, but he
still has a staff of five aides and an assigned Nissan that
comes with, yes, a mini-bar. Zhao seldom leaves his house,
spending most of his days reading and watching videotapes. One
acquaintance quotes the ex-leader: "I didn't realize so many
good movies existed."
