Nonetheless, there have been some corridors of advancement open. Although it is probably the least powerful of the major institutions in China, the government bureaucracy (headed by Chou En-Lai) has provided a fair possibility for advancement. For example, 28 per cent of the cabinet ministers in 1960 were Central Committee members, but by early 1966 only 18 per cent were on the Central Committee. Similarly, 46 per cent of the provincial governors were Central Committee members in 1960, but now the figure is only 27 per cent. It is necessary to re-emphasize, however, that the "newcomers...

So long as the nations of Europe are protected against military conquest by the American nuclear guarantee, made more real by the presence of several divisions of American troops as hostages to our intentions, these nations have the economic and political strength to resist Soviet...
...chase involves much long-distance running over life's cluttered obstacle course. A-T-A brawls with Gwen's lovers, tosspots his way to jail, suffers a sanity hearing and the mental lockup, is finally divorced by his wife, who takes his money and marries his lawyer. En route, while his teen-age daughter is aborted in Mexico and takes a Negro lover, A-T-A himself participates in enough sex romps to satisfy born voyeurs, not to say the American Gynecological Society...
