...well to remember all this in reading Robert J. Lifton's new book, Revolutionary Immortality: Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. The work attempts to formulate what Lifton calls a "psychohistorical" model of China's Cultural Revolution, the baffling internal convulsion which has kept China on the verge of anarchy since the summer of 1966.

Cervantes, wife of the St. Louis mayor, happily bid $750 for half a ton of bacon, explaining that she has six boys and a Mexican exchange student all living in her house.
