...Hearst himself dramatically "invaded" Cuba from a chartered steamboat, captured 26 wet, befuddled Spanish sailors whose ship had been sunk in the Battle of Santiago), a Hearst reporter was dashing about, brushing the Army & Navy aside, taking strategically important objectives singlehanded, and revealing all. The reporter: bulky, handsome Clark ("Chang") Lee, 38. In six days, by his own word, Clark Lee had: ¶ Been the first to find "Tokyo Rose" (see RADIO...

Even Westerners agree that there is a lot of common sense in Dr. Chang's methods-he is a good doctor who knows symptoms, takes pulses, fits the medicine to the patient's needs. And some Chinese medicines have panned out by Western standards (e.g., "ma-huang," known in America as ephedrine, a drug which constricts blood vessels). But Dr. Chang is an exception: in the hands of most village practitioners, the native...
