...prime weapon until now in the power struggle. Equally curious, China's official news agencies, in a move that was new in the struggle, all last week urged tolerance for Mao's enemies. "To regard all persons in authority as untrustworthy is wrong," warned Red Flag, adding sweetly: "In party and government organizations, enterprises and undertakings, the majority of ordinary cadres are good." It sounded for the moment as though Mao may wish to work out some form of compromise before China is completely destroyed. Perhaps it was his own temporary form of a New Year...

The tournament draw put him at the ocean-side Cypress Point course next day- and there the wind was howling in off the Pacific at 40 m.p.h., bending flag sticks over until the tips touched the ground. Nicklaus double-bogied three straight holes in the wind, and groaned: "I don't remember doing anything like that since I was ten years old."

"The red ocean is a big plot" is an attack on a particularly dirty tactic in poster warfare: some anti-Maoists have been painting entire...
Over the postwar years, more than 2,700 East German-built ships have been sold to Russia, often at prices 30% below the world market. But East Germany has also built up its own fleet. Today, its black, red and yellow flag flies over 155 ships. VEB vessels last year carried 6,200,000 tons of cargo to 340 ports, ranging from nearby Hamburg to faraway Haiphong, while two 600-passenger cruise ships carried vacationers to Scandinavia, Scotland and Iceland...
