...denounce the philosopher, while their elders were obliged to chant imprecations against him in public demonstrations. Posters sprang up around the country portraying Confucius as a rapacious villain. One widely circulated comic strip showed a leering Confucius watching slaves being massacred. Red Guards stormed into the village of Chu Fu, where he was born 2,500 years ago, and destroyed the shrine erected in his honor. The People's Daily exulted: "Confucianism is dead once and for all." A typical broadcast declared: "Although Confucius is dead, his corpse continues to emit its stench even today. Its poison is deep...
...constitution pledges fewer ideological restrictions on the arts and literature, which most Chinese will clearly welcome. When copies of a Chinese translation of Hamlet appeared in a shop on Peking's Wang Fu Ching Street recently, they attracted a queue of buyers that stretched 100 yds. Official journals have railed against "stereotyped writing" and "wornout themes," authorities are again permitting the old customs of ballad singing and storytelling, and movies like the anti-Japanese war film On the Sungari River, banned since the mid-1960s, can again be seen. In general, the Chinese press has gone to great lengths...
...mysterious deaths among the Chinese military have provided further evidence of Hua's continuing struggle to put down opposition to his post-Mao regime.

These maneuvers were also calculated to erode the authority of Peking Regional Commander Ch'en Hsi-lien, who is now ostensibly Fu's superior. Analysts believe that Teng Hsiao-p'ing is gunning for the commander, who is said to have opposed Teng's return to power. If so, there is little doubt of the outcome. In reports of a reception held last week for the 1,000 workers who built Mao Tse-tung's mausoleum, Teng was listed as No. 3 man in the Chinese hierarchy, while Ch'en had slid from fifth to 14th place...
...universe by a "god-wall" from an unknown source, the Calebens. (No Shakespearian connotations, as they are good guys.) Outside of Dosadi's wall is a complex universe with a tenuous power balance among humans, the frog-like Gowachins and the death-dancing wreaves--with their Kung-fu-like movements and poisoned mandibles. Jorj X. McKie, a red-haired man of Polynesian descent, is the only human accepted as a Legum in the Gowachin legal system. Herbert fails to give the legal cult the depth of Dune's Bene Gesserit witches but he still shows traces of his creative genius...
