The Democrats stopped Estes Kefauver, but the G.O.P. accepted Dwight Eisenhower. In the end, it mattered less to the delegates that Ike was only a nominal Republican than...
...China? All criticism is fiercely suppressed as contrary to socialism and to the dictatorship of the proletariat. What brutal hypocrisy!" A wall poster responding to Deng's speech sneered that he and his Politburo cronies were "successors and followers" of the Gang of Four-the clique headed by Mao's widow Jiang Qing (Chiang Ch'ing)-who had been Deng's most bitter enemies...
