...died in 1925, and Chiang soon took command of the Kuomintang. Over the next two years he led his armies on a brilliant series of campaigns against the warlords that resulted in a precariously unified nation. Despite his ardent opposition to Communism, Chiang at first collaborated with the vigorous fledgling Chinese Communist Party and its Soviet advisers; but with the work of reunification well advanced, he turned against the Communists, executing thousands and driving others out of the new national government. Among those he shunted aside was the head of Kuomintang propaganda, a firebrand named Mao Tse-tung...
Winger Mars Child scored one of her five goals on a brilliant solo effort. Child intercepted an attempted Worcester clearing pass, cut past the pointwomen and rifled a rocket of a shot behind a starry-eyed crease keeper...
...Eliot speak when Levin was an undergraduate, and he's seen many of the Norton lectures since then. When asked which lecture meant the most to him, he said that Edwin Panovsky's presentation.

Since then, with his debonair good looks, smooth manner and legendary...
...PHILADELPHIA, Melvoin's specialty is the rapid-fire repartee. Rubin and O'Donnell are a brilliant duo when let loose. And in a word-spitting duel like the Questions Game (where each must retort with a question), the verbal fireworks are dazzling. Chris Minkowski, a properly regal Claudius, looks like he's still savoring his triumph as last fall's production of Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. The mimed deaths of the Tragedians, choreography by David Fechtor, resemble the last writhing gasps of fish drowning in air, and coordinate well with the heavy rope-netting...
