The ball is now back in Chiang Ching's court, and who knows how she will show her wrath against Chou's group? Will she lash out at such modern composers as Bartdk and Stravinsky, assuming that everyone realizes she means you-know-who and his newfangled ideas?

That she took no pleasure in sex we know from other sources, including Joseph P. Lash's first volume. Elliott treats this as a great revelation and reminds readers about it perhaps a dozen times in his small book. Father, on the other hand, matured into a lusty chap whose interest and prowess were undiminished even by the aftereffects of polio. For the sake of skeptics, Elliott cites a medical report and even translates the Latin...
