...thousands, from dawn to well past nightfall, residents of Peking last week thronged the capital's Wang Fu Ching Street, site of the city's People's Daily headquarters. Jostling one another for view, some making notes, they avidly scanned an eight-sheet wall poster that had been put up on the street and signed by, of all people, an auto mechanic in a nearby garage. In a society where the wall poster is the semiofficial harbinger of political shifts and cultural upheavals, the document on Wang Fu Ching Street was undeniably momentous. As part...
Teng has so obviously strengthened his position that he can now safely reject those terms. In a society where little is permitted to happen without government approval, the poster remained on Wang Fu Ching Street for two days, indicating that the auto mechanic who wrote it, if indeed a mechanic was the author, had high-level approval.

DIED. Lo Jui-ching, 72, China's ex-Minister of Public Security under Mao Tse-tung throughout the 1950s, and later army chief of staff, who weathered political disgrace in the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s to make a remarkable comeback; of heart disease; in Peking. Lo was an early victim of the militaristic Red Guards, who led him to attempt a suicide jump from a besieged building. His literal fall from power broke only a leg but sidelined him until 1975, when he reappeared first with a minor military post, then on the Communist Party's Central...
