Mangoes from Mao. Along with the army, the workers also got the green light for reforming the Red Guards. Mao dispatched "worker-peasant, Mao Tse-tung-thought propaganda teams" to rebellious college campuses in Peking, Shanghai and Canton, which have been dominated by Red Guards. To dramatize the move, Mao sent a shipment of mangoes to the workers on Tsinghua University campus in Peking, where they were solemnly sniffed and touched, one commentary reverently reported, then preserved chemically as a "token of Chairman Mao's great attention to the working class." The gift was celebrated at campus rallies...
Apprenticeship served, Ho commenced his indefatigable career as "traveling salesman of revolution." In 1925 he was in Canton, setting up the Association of Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth. Three years later, wearing the robes of a Buddhist monk, he turned up in Bangkok, organizing cells in the pagodas. Everywhere he went, he left behind a network of indoctrination schools and newspapers...
...party leadership seemed genuinely aghast at the violence. Shanghai's daily Wen Hui Pao recently conceded that some of the ruling provincial and municipal revolutionary committees are "not in a state" to function effectively.

...Supreme Court rarely rebukes individual attorneys. But last year its unanimous, 9-to-0 reversal of the 1956 murder conviction of Cabdriver Lloyd Eldon Miller Jr. carried a blunt reprimand. Miller had been accused of the brutal rape-murder of an eight-year-old girl near Canton, Ill., and the high court was convinced that he did not get a fair trial. It charged Fulton County Prosecutor Blaine Ramsey and his special assistant, Roger Hayes, with deliberately misrepresenting evidence by repeatedly waving a "bloodstained" pair of men's shorts before the jury. "In the context of the revolting crime...
Confession Recanted. Misapprehended or not, the major facts of the case remain undisputed. Little Janice May was found bloodied and fatally beaten along the railroad tracks outside of Canton in November 1955. Miller was arrested two days later, kept incommunicado for 52 hours and "persuaded" to confess after police told him that one of his pubic hairs was found in the victim's vagina. Miller later recanted the confession, and the hair, which was not his, was never introduced as evidence...
