Another sign of Teng's ascendancy was the solemn, though posthumous, rehabilitation of several former top leaders who had been victims, like Teng himself, of Mao's frequent purges. T'ao Chu, once the party boss of Kwangtung province, had been hounded to death by Mao's Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution of 1966-69, while former Defense Minister P'eng Teh-huai was purged in 1959 for policy differences with Mao. P'eng's persecution was officially attributed to the Gang of Four, but as millions of Chinese know, there...

There are only three characters: Dynamane, a recently widowed noblewoman who has decided to die from starvation in her late husband's tomb; Doto, her feeble-witted and man-hungry servant who has decided to die from physical and sexual starvation with her mistress; and Tegeus, or as he is called by Dynamane, Cromus, a steedly Hoplite who blunders into the whole affair and falls in love with Dynamane. Using this simple plot and character framework...
