When the flooding Rio Grande between El Paso and Ciudad Juárez switched course in 1864, it hefted the U.S.-Mexican border south and thereby shifted to the U.S. an arid, chop-shaped patch of land known as El Chamizal (The Thicket).

But out of all the bits of information last week, one conclusion was unmistakable: the army is being given more and more power. Under the chop mark of Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung, his wife Chiang Ching and other government leaders, a terse command went out to military garrisons across the land telling them to take control of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and restore order...
