...Patron. The first signal came during New York Timesman Harrison Salisbury's four-hour interview with North Viet Nam's Premier Pham Van Dong, whom some observers regard as le patron-the real boss-of the war effort. According to Salisbury, Pham emphasized that his oft-reiterated "four points"* for settlement of the war were not meant as prior "conditions" for peace talks but as a "basis of settlement." Since Hanoi had hitherto insisted that the U.S. had to accept these terms before talks could begin, the apparent shift in emphasis stirred a flurry of speculation. Was Pham...
...hand. The next day, some 100,000 Red Guards poured into the Peking Workers' Athletic Hall for "A Rally for Thoroughly Criticizing Liu and Teng for Their Bourgeois Reactionary Lines." The youngsters boomed approval when speaker after speaker denounced Liu as "the Khrushchev of China," the "boss of the capitalist class," and warned that unless the Liu-Teng platforms were banished, "China itself might fade away."

Ever since they toppled Nikita Khrushchev from power two years ago, Soviet leaders have rhapsodized about the virtues of "collective leadership" and ranted against Nikita's "cult of personality." Last week on the occasion of his 60th birthday, Brezhnev was made a Hero of the Soviet Union. In a rare event, his leonine likeness stared enigmatically from Pravda and special editions of the other Moscow newspapers. Was Brezhnev actually fostering his own little...
