CHINA IS A piece of meat," Sun Yat-sen once said. "And the whole world wants to take a bit of it." At the 1973 Chinese Communist Party conference sixty years later, Chou Enlai echoed this statement of the Father of the Republic, but added that those who might seek to nourish themselves on China's wealth will find that the piece of meat has grown tough.

This week's congress must fill those vacant ranks. It is also expected that for the first time Lin will be branded a traitor and right-wing opportunist (the party's worst sin). The congress will then have to adopt a new party constitution, one which no longer...
...conveys those few instances in the campaign when real drama flared, including the selection and dumping of Thomas Eagleton as McGovern's running mate. But like the election, the book belongs to Richard Nixon. The President strides into China, and in the moment of a handshake with Chou Enlai, "China was erased as the enemy...
