...most startling reversals in modern diplomatic history. It reflects, to a great extent, the determination of Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing and China's other new leaders to enlist Washington's help in countering the Soviet Union's mounting influence in Asia. It thus establishes a major new phase in Washington's often stormy relations not only with Peking but with Moscow as well.

The dissidents would rather Brill had looked into reform movements in other unions, the Mineworkers' anti-Tony Boyle campaign, say, or the Sadlowski insurgency in the Steelworkers, to figure out why such movements succeed or fail.
