You can see it in the current election of how important information is.
And Mao and the communists play it well.
and the Russians absolutely understand how to do this.
They're really good at understanding both sides fighting and then you feed information both ways so that they're just at each other's throats and being more and more dysfunctional.

Oh, it wasn't a question of being allowed.
I got a fellowship.
It was supposed to happen right after Tiananmen, and that got closed down.
Tiananmen was in June of 89.
So the fellowship was delayed for half a year, and then we went for all of 1990.
And so I used different archives.
But then I did other things like I had two children and I stayed at home with them.
And I was the spouse that didn't travel so that there would be stability in little people's lives.
And now I would no more visit China.
