And don't forget this, at the end of page three and beginning of page 
four, which is when I realized it couldn't possibly NOT be a joke:



... Flush with government-supplied money, he persuaded the Chinese
premier to supply land and labor and build him the world's largest
eight-track-tape factory, on the outskirts of Beijing. Bush supervised the
construction personally, often arriving as early as 8:30 A.M. and staying
on the job as late as 3 P.M.

At this time, Bush also appears to have had some correspondence with his 
father. A Freedom of Information Act request from GQ to the State 
Department yielded a 1972 telegram to George H. W. Bush from his son 
George. Though it is still classified in parts and text is blacked out in 
several areas, it does seem to confirm W.'s Chinese mission.
