...understanding of Mao Tse-tung's present state-psychological or otherwise-is possible without some knowledge of the Ch'ang Cheng, the Long March upcountry by which the Chinese Communist forces escaped annihilation nearly 40 years...
...north, 6,000 miles in all, to reach the barren cave-pocked lands near the Great Wall northwest of Yenan. Failure at any one of a dozen points would have meant extinction of Communist hopes, possibly forever; but success meant more than mere survival.

The Washington house of Hugh Doggett Scott Jr., who took over as leader of the Senate Republican minority after Dirksen's death, is chockablock with chinoiserle, mainly from the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-906). That slight Oriental connection is one of the few similarities between the two men. Where Dirksen was a conciliator, expert in sub rosa dealings with Democrats, Scott is an acerbic infighter who means to do open partisan battle from his new front-row desk...
