...temperance of more consistency and temperance ever since, it relentlessly broke the Western analysts' dream of "peaceful transformation" by perpetrating the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. In that episode, some of the top officials, including Premier Li Peng, were embarrassed when the students on the streets deliberately turned a deaf car to their orders--something regarded as intolerable by China's patriarchs. Guns and blood make clear a "they-can-always-go-back-if-they-want-to" conclusion, and the lesson to be learned here is, "Don't push them too hard or they'll go wild...

...first time, the L.A. County courthouse was picketed in O.J. Simpson's defense.

...slightly creepy centerpiece is a Q. & A. between Kennedy and a deaf, pain-wracked George Wallace (the disturbing photos, again by Ritts, testify to Wallace's discomfort). The interview isn't particularly informative; rather, it's fascinating as an encounter between two very different American icons. Kennedy's nervy if occasionally J-schoolish questions annoy Wallace; the unforthcoming replies stymie Kennedy. Q. "Do you think we'll see a black man elected President in your lifetime?" A. "Well, my lifetime is very short--I'm 75 years...
