Before he was an architect, Johnson became the director of the architecture department of Manhattan's fledgling Museum of Modern Art. In 1936 he scandalized his colleagues by resigning from his post and, imbued with fervor for Nazi Germany, trying to start a splinter fascist party in America. This failed, and in 1940 Johnson entered architecture school. He had backed into the profession as a critic, but in the process he had helped bring Mies van der Rohe to America and fought bravely to shift avant-garde taste in the direction of the same Utopian machine culture he would...

Both seem to understand that a doctrinal bloodletting at this time over the debunking of Mao would endanger the overall modernization program, on which both sides basically agree.

One poster attacked Mao openly for having purged Teng and suggested that Mao had been involved in the activities of two of Peking's now most reviled political figures, Mao's wife Chiang Ch'ing and former...
...held aloft by demonstrators. Waiting for the ceremonies to begin, the crowd began to chant, "You notice it! You can feel it! Franco is here!" Then the Spanish national anthem boomed over the loudspeakers, and the Franquistas snapped to attention and put their palms forward in the straight-arm Fascist salute. Bias Piñar, 60, a former Franco appointee to the Cortes and now the leading activist of Spain's diehard rightists, stepped forward from his place beside the dictator's 52-year-old daughter Carmen...
