...final split. Even if that split does not occur immediately on the diplomatic level, last week's exchanges confirmed that it is already a fact. In London, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin went so far as to urge sympathy for "people who are struggling against the dictatorial regime of Mao Tse-tung." Everyone knew that the Russians felt that way, but it was the first time that a ranking Soviet official had said it-and in a capitalist capital, of all places. Russia and China canceled their longstanding agreement permitting citizens of each nation to visit the other without visas...
...demonstrators outside Peking's embassy in Moscow were reasonably well behaved. Though a delegation arrived with petitions protesting Chinese polemics, they went away after the Chinese ripped their petitions to shreds.

As his reward, when he was sent to Shantung, she stayed behind in the Chinese...
That marriage foundered, too, in the confusion of China's civil war. Her first husband meanwhile set out to join Mao's Communist rebels, who had four years earlier made the Long March to the caves of Yenan, and Chiang Ching went with him. There she met Mao, 20 years her senior and then married to his third wife, the mother of his five children. The encounter was, as the Chinese tell it, like "dried firewood on roaring fire." Mao made Chiang Ching his private secretary and shipped his wife off to Moscow for "psychiatric treatment...
