...example, one of the hits of the opera season this summer was "Blood and Tears of Hatred." In it, according to the Peking Review, "a poor peasant family, suffering from natural calamities and the tyranny of the Kuomintang regime, is on the verge of starvation. Its members flee to the Northern Shensi Border Region where they are rescued by the Communist Party and find a way out of their bitter plight." The opera is produced by the Modern Opera Group of the China Railway Workers' Cultural Troupe...
...their supposed meetings of a year ago. He pours forth detail after detail, while the camera modulates between the actual present and the past conjured up by X's words. A almost never breaks her mysterious silence and never tells X that she remembers him even when they flee the hotel together to escape the dire presence of M. Did they meet, or didn't they?

Though Ben Bella was still 285 miles away in Tlemcen, Benkhedda's Cabinet ministers began to flee Algiers, leaving Benkhedda holed up in the Palais d'Eté, guarded by a company of loyal soldiers. (Toward week's end, the ministers shamefacedly began to slink back into the city; one sneaked upstairs to his quarters in the Hotel Aletti through the back door.) Two government ministers, however, left Algiers not in flight but ostensibly to fight. Tough, able Belkacem Krim, who conducted...
