THE WEEK, Page 19WORLDEt Cetera
NEW THINKING
"Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang,
the master mind," says a Chinese aphorism. To speed up Deng
Xiaoping's market-style reforms, China's pragmatic leaders are
tapping the mind of a modern-day Zhuge Liang: University of
Pennsylvania professor Lawrence Klein. The American Nobel
laureate in economics in 1980 was appointed as an adviser to the
State Planning Commission, which oversees the industrial sector.
They hope Klein's wisdom can help them build a "socialist
market economy," Deng's newest oxymoron.
THOSE LEFT BEHIND
Maybe the passing of time eased the emotional sting, but the
disclosure still had a shocking impact. According to records
released by a retired Russian army general, Dmitri Volkogonov,
119 Americans were held in camps as Soviet prisoners of war
following World War II. Of this group, 18 died in custody (some
by execution), several were interned for lengthy sentences, and
others were eventually released, settling in Soviet territory.
According to the general, none of the remaining Americans are
currently being held against their will.
