...from Peking, who sweep in and try to take over everything from the city government to factory management in the name of Mao. By wall-poster accounting, no fewer than 350 people have been killed and 1,500 seriously wounded in clashes in Wuhan since last April. A formidable foe heads the resistance against the Maoist intruders: General Chen Tsaitao, commander of the Wuhan Military Region and a distinguished career soldier of the People's Liberation Army. In suppressing the Red Guards, he was supported not only by his own garrison but by much of Wuhan's population...

Manhattan hippies whose skulls were zapped by police billies during a Memorial Day "bein" in New York's East Village are now trying to arrange a picnic for the cops' kids, as well as a Mantovani record concert for the officers them selves. Charges against the hippies were dismissed last week by Criminal Court Judge Herman Weinkrantz, who said...
...administrator, announced that he would not seek a third term. Though Edward Logue, the city's famed urban renewal director, will most likely be the favored candidate of the outgoing Collins administration and the city's business community, School Committee Member Mrs. Louise Day Hicks, a longtime foe of enforced school integration, will almost certainly cull some white votes as a result of the Blue Hill eruption, and has at least an outside chance of becoming the Honorable Mrs. Hicks...
