...radicals-apparently with the blessing of the ailing Helmsman -blocked his way. A few months after Chou's death he was dismissed from his jobs and vilified in the press.

...fate was decided before I came to this globe," says Soviet Violinist Gidon Kremer. So it seems. His mother and father were both professional violinists. Gidon's maternal grandfather handed down his fiddle when the boy was still in his teens; it just happened to be an 18th century Guadagnini.

Another promising finding: for the first time since he was arrested in 1965, Lang has seemed ready to learn sign language, quickly picking up 100 basic...

Presenting an intensely vivid but unsentimental portrait of oppression, the film conveys a unique sense of what it's like for people trapped in social processes who begin to take their fate into their own hands.
