Terry <<Not that I'll ever be able to find it, but I read an interview with Chou en Lai years ago where he clearly took claim for that hustle. Said in effect that the Chinese have very long memories, a hundred years was nothing in terms of repaying a grudge, and so had made sure that there was always a plentiful supply for your troops. >> Atahualpa, the dying captive Peruvian Inca King, told Pizzaro just about the same thing about cocaine when with his dying breath he said in effect that, "Cocaine will be the strength of the Incas and the scourge of the white men..." (wish I had Lester Grinspoon's source material at hand to quote accurately but I don't...sorry about that). Given the historical timeline I doubt the Chou en Lai story. Good to see you on this thread. Hope to see more of your postings. Jerry in Omaha
