...late '50s, patterned after Mao's short-lived campaign to "let 100 flowers bloom," uncovered so much resentment that repression was reinstituted almost immediately. Ho, however, was never blamed for repression: skillfully, he divorced himself in the public mind from that harsh entity known as government. As British Journalist James Cameron put it, the people seemed to say: "This or that is a damn nuisance, the government is pushing us around again. But Uncle Ho says it is all right, so we suppose it must...
...middleaged, overweight free-lance journalist who plays the jew's-harp is hardly the prototype of a revolutionary. But Harvey Matusow, 46, has full credentials for conspiracy. An American Communist in the 1940s who turned FBI informer and spent five years in prison for perjury (after admitting that he had testified falsely against some 250 supposed Reds), Matusow now lives and plots in London. He is the self-appointed president of the International Society for the Abolition of Data Processing Machines, which claims 1,500 members. Like Matusow, they look on the computer as an exploitative monster that...

Born in New York City, Hank Luce took his B.A. at Yale in 1948, following three years in the Navy, in which he served aboard a destroyer escort in the Pacific. After becoming a reporter for the Cleveland Press, he joined TIME'S Washington bureau...
Though her picture is on the jacket, Sarah Gainham follows the vogue for pen names. She is really Rachel Ames, a successful mystery writer and the wife of an American journalist based in Central Europe. In the first volume of her trilogy she graduated from the rigors of a hackneyed suspense plot; for the moment she has regressed. The third volume will flash back to Julia Homburg's early career in Vienna's Burgtheater, a more likely subject than cold war soul-searching for the novel of manners the author does best...
