Armed with little more than the name lists of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee elected in 1945 and 1956-58 (some 200 men), one could construct the tables of organization of virtually all important organizations in China today--principally the CCP, the government bureaucracy, the army, and the ubiquitous "mass" (or "people's") organizations. There were only two major chinks in the armor of leadership solidarity from the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 to early 1966.

In Manhattan, four high-rise apartment buildings have straddled the approaches to the George Washington Bridge since 1963. Chicago's 41-story Prudential Building rose over the Illinois Central tracks just east of Michigan Avenue nearly twelve years ago, and only last month, the last legal obstacles were removed from plans to construct $1 billion worth of apartments and office buildings over 188 acres of Illinois Central track and switching yard near Chicago's lakefront...
...land reclamation and the minister for commerce, one Yao Yilin. "I have had to order him to take a rest," said Chou. "I understand you have issued a warrant for his arrest. Such a warrant amounts to one for the arrest of all members of the party's Central Committee. I must say I support your revolutionary spirit, but I must also say that you have to abide by the dictates and disciplines of party organization...
