...Communist days, Canton was China's historic capital of insurrection. Secret societies flourished in the teeming tearooms of the wealthy southern metropolis, and assassination was a familiar way of death. It was in Canton that the Opium War began.

Inside the polling station at Moscow's Secondary School No. 70, the face was familiar and the voting proctors did not demand the customary identification papers. Nilcita Khrushchev, 72, looking considerably older and thinner, quietly folded his ballot and dropped it into the urn, casting his meaningless vote for his Moscow district's unopposed candidate for the Supreme Soviet, or Parliament. The candidate's name: Alexei Kosygin, the fellow who, with Leonid Brezhnev, put Khrushchev out of a job two years ago. It was a rare public appearance for Nikita Sergeevich, and a crowd of nearly...

Horatio at the Wall. Many of Elon's observations are familiar enough. He reviews the industrial resurgence of West Germany. One reads again of the neo-Nazi lunatic fringe, but Elon suggests that a vigilant press and growing democratic values keep the extreme rightists cornered.

Bergman has tricked out his static, enigmatic story with flashes of his familiar images: a fat spider, which represented God in Through a Glass Darkly, and here seems only to be arachnid revulsion; a flickering silent movie of Death dancing comically around a table, a la Seventh Seal; a nail being pounded into the palm of a hand.
