One innovation: the use of female hormones to encourage spawning. But the biologists there also adhered to the Maoist maxim to "change wastes into treasures and turn harmful into beneficial." They feed the fish animal and even human wastes (after fermentation to kill fecal parasites). Elsewhere, the Chinese are introducing "digesters" (small tanks) that convert biological wastes into methane gas, which in turn powers electrical generators and can be used for cooking. The residue...
Despite a costly five-year military campaign, an armed rebellion among the Muslim Moros in Mindanao and Sulu has been contained but not suppressed. In other rural regions, the smaller Maoist New Peoples Army is growing in size.

Lucky Gardens, a long walk up Western Ave., is also pretty good...
...been to the country five times before, and over the years had turned out a stream of China-related columns and one book, The Chinese Difference (1973). "It's still pretty good," says Kraft. "I didn't go ape on the Chinese or the new Maoist man or anything like that...
