...gathered around the table, enjoying a favorite meal of eggs and chips and larking about, hitting Dad for "requests"-everything from That Doggy in the Window to songs composed on the spot, to order, for whatever child does the asking. Dad may be working on the score for a cartoon movie about a bear named Rupert who flies around in little glass balls, or sawing away on the kitchen table he is building for Mum ("I'm not very good at building-I wonder if it will stand up").

In Tientsin, Teng was in a poster cartoon as the leader of an orchestra consisting of all of China's "right deviationists." The key charge against him is that he falsified Mao's instructions. Under Chou and Teng, party propaganda-duly citing Mao-emphasized three main goals for the country: 1) studying the Chairman's teachings about the dictatorship of the proletariat, 2) promoting national unity, and 3) boosting production...
