...next ten years, Chancellor Hu says, China ought to concentrate all her scholars, dollars and energies on five (or at most ten) select universities. To presidents of the 138 lesser colleges, Hu's plan looks like merger or death. It has already been opposed by officials of Chiang Kai-shek's Ministry of Education, who want more, not fewer, colleges for China's 400 million people.

He read aloud Communist Chieftain Mao Tse-tung's own outline for the offensive in Central China, quoted from the latest tactical instructions for Communist field commanders. But the intentions and capabilities of China's Red Army were clear enough without captured Communist war plans. Last week that Red Army possessed the military initiative in China, and appeared to be winning its war of attrition and disintegration...
