While the court was granting absolute immunity to Presidents, it refused to do the same for their aides. Fitzgerald had sued two of Nixon's assistants, Bryce Harlow and Alexander Butterfield, over his job problems. Last week the Justices ruled, 8 to 1, that the aides, like Cabinet officers, enjoy only "qualified" immunity. An official, said the court, would be liable to a suit if he could be expected to know he was violating the law. While technically a defeat for the two Nixon aides, the ruling was in a large sense a victory because the court dropped...
...books attempt to erase any lingering misconceptions about the once Celestial Empire. Uniformity of dress, says Butterfield, the first New York Times correspondent in China since 1949, does not prove that a society is egalitarian.

China was once Joseph Stalin's most pupil, and though it broke with more than a decade ago, the legacy of Soviet "intensive industrialization" Butterfield cites the all-too-typical $13.3 billion mill designed to manufacture 3 million tons of steel a year. When the Chinese turned on the switch, they found the plant demanded more electric than the entire surrounding could produce...
China: Alive in the Bitter Sea and From the Center of the Earth invite comparison to Chinese art works. In that case, Butterfield's book is an enormous scroll, a teeming, informative landscape of scurrying figures. Bernstein paints with a more expressive, delicate brush. His art is philosophical and impressionistic, elegant and in some ways more moving. Where Butterfield deals mostly with urban China, Bernstein attempts to plumb the interior hinterland, the very heart of China. Together, these complementary volumes reveal the China of dust and sweat-the China of experience rather than imagination. They create a portrait...
