Even in making his proposal, Chou showed Peking's scorn for any form of international organization. China, he said with heavy irony, wants "rival dramas to be staged in competition with that body which calls itself the U.N. How can it be that the U.S. is allowed to stage its own drama, while...

They sing in 27 different languages, including Batak, Luo, Amharic and Kis-si, and play such native instruments as the Indonesian angklung and the Chinese ch'eng.
