...ritual dramas and folk plays, heard scratchy Ch'ing Dynasty blues and a half-dozen pieces by a "classical orchestra"-an ensemble that was ancient when Confucius was young. Though Broadway-farers made little sense out of the dancelike dramas, they liked the sword dance by Gardenia Chang, the gaudy plumage, rooster-strutting and extravagant simpers...

A stocky 58-year-old who looks like an American Indian and who loves bright neckties and ice cream, Chang heads the "Political Science Group," which wants a modernized, industrialized China on a broad, democratic base.
