...Cultural Revolution. As often as not, Peking's maneuvers were designed to steal a march on Moscow. Two months ago, Premier Chou En-lai flew to Pyongyang to embrace North Korean Leader Kim II Sung, who had been branded a "fat revisionist" by Maoist Red Guards in more extremist years. Peking then agreed to exchange ambassadors with the original revisionist capital, Belgrade...
...might suppose that as extremists become inflammatory, moderates would close ranks and oppose them. Just the opposite is occurring. The moderates begin to take sides against one another.

They injure the University, the country, the students, and whatever cause of peace they claim to serve. They deepen the cleavage between an extremist minority, on the one side, and the great majority of both faculty and students on the other...
