...took a Silber-appointed committee only 12 days to produce a code that would make Chiang Kai-Shek or Nguyen Van Thieu green with envy. Silber appointed the drafting committee. Silber will appoint the hearing examiner. Silber will appoint the committee which, in turn, has power to appoint the judicial committees, or panels of jurors. Of course, defendants will be entitled to appeal the jury's decision. The appeal will be heard by "the president of the University or a party or review body designated by him." On April 25, as B.U. classes were ending, the students...
Author Richard Bach may be surprised to learn that his inspirational flight manual, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, has run into flak from a Red Guard group in Fukien province. Noting the popularity of the "tasteless and absurd" book in Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan, the group, via "Fukien Front" radio, has attacked what it calls "the Chiang gang's insidious motive in advocating the seagull character."

There, remnants of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang army, swelled by local recruits, have plied the opium trade ever since they gave up trying to harass the Chinese Communists 25 years ago.

Quemoy was once a barren outpost, but Chiang Kai-shek is said to have decreed in 1951: "Make it green." So the Nationalists have planted 70 million seedling trees, mostly Australian pine. They have since added bananas, mangoes, pears and apples. There are fields of corn and sorghum that help to make the island's 62,000 civilian inhabitants self-sufficient. The island even has a frail industrial base, a pottery plant and a liquor distillery. "For the soldiers, we have a lot of peanut candy shops and billiard parlors," a guide remarks...
...Most of the troops have little opportunity to fire live ammunition, however. Instead, the Nationalists concentrate on "psy-war." They have a high-powered radio station that reaches deep into the mainland. High-altitude balloons intermittently shower propaganda leaflets on the "enemy," with slogans like "Chiang Kai-shek is concerned about you." The hope is that the leaflets and the broadcasts will inspire mass defections. In fact, the last defector from the mainland to reach Quemoy was a fisherman who swam ashore in November...
