...tough, pragmatic survivor of the Long March era, Li has taken on more and more of the ceremonial duties of the Foreign Minister during the past year. Meanwhile Chen Yi, who still holds the title of Foreign Minister, has all but faded from view. Last September, Li headed Peking's delegation to the funeral of Ho Chi Minh. Since Ho was a particular friend of Peking, Li's rank was significant. A few days later, he was in the group that met Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin at Peking Airport. Last month Li was the first Chinese official...
...chairmanship of the party. His rule will most likely be only temporary; behind the scenes, the country may well be run by a collective leadership. Challengers are likely to rise from the radical left, headed by Mao's wife Chiang Ching and such Cultural Revolution stalwarts as Ideologue Chen Pota. Eventually, however, more moderate forces may prevail, perhaps clustered around Premier Chou En-lai and the politically savvy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, General Huang Yung-sheng...

The Moscow sources said, for example, that when Chou met with Kosygin in Peking on Sept. 11, he was accompanied by Lin and Chen.

But the Chinese had announced that Chou's companions during the Kosygin meeting were Vice Premiers Li Hsien-nien and Hsieh Fushih. Why would Peking have troubled to disguise the presence...
Esoteric Substances. In fact, six drug companies were represented at the Rhode Island conference. Some are already active in the field, testing such esoteric substances as paolin I, an antibacterial compound, and paolin II, an antiviral agent. Both were extracted from the juices of the abalone by Dr. Chen Pien Li at the National Institutes of Health. Similar extracts from quahaugs (thick-shelled clams) have been found to be active against some forms of cancer in mice. So far, chemicals from shellfish appear to have only moderate potency, but the sea offers an almost infinite variety of other potential sources...
