Army officers occupy deputy posts in several of Peking's ministries and hold eleven seats on the ruling 21-man Politburo. The fastest-rising man in China is Army Chief of Staff Huang Yung-sheng (TIME, Aug. 24), who now ranks fifth on official lists. Some radicals, by contrast, have fallen from power, particularly those who gathered around Mao's wife Chiang Ching.
