...long, hard fight, something of the hope that stiffens Johnson against his critics was lucidly expressed by White House Security Adviser Walt W. Rostow. Speaking at the University of Leeds in England, Rostow said that the "aggressive, romantic revolutionaries" who long have disturbed world peace-Ho Chi Minn and Mao Tse-tung, to name two-must soon give way to leaders who will make a new era of tranquillity possible. "If we have the common will to hold together and get on with the job," he predicted, "the struggle in Viet Nam might be the last great confrontation...
After seven months of unbridled furor and frenzy in the name of Mao Tse-tung's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, China continued last week to try to re-establish some measure of stability. Out of Peking's white-tiled Municipal Party Headquarters trudged hundreds of Red Guards, bearing their bedrolls and belongings. Only recently the chosen shock troops of Mao's purge, the youngsters had been evicted by government edict from their erstwhile headquarters and dormitory. They chucked their possessions into waiting army trucks and were driven out of the city and presumably back to school...
Errors & Alliances. Chou, with his multilingual facility (Russian, Japanese, French and English) and broad exposure to the outside world after eight years as Foreign Minister, ranks third in the Red Chinese hierarchy (after Mao Tse-tung and Lin Piao) and is perhaps the most pragmatic of Peking's leaders.

...events in China clearly showed last week, that warning is accurate. The Maoists are having trouble almost everywhere. In his attempt to use the army to purge dissident leaders, Mao has run into a major difficulty: the army, created by the Communist Party, is finding it unpalatably difficult to discipline or destroy its creator. In fact, there are signs that the army is badly split. For Mao, whose maxim is that "power grows from the barrel of a gun," that was bad news indeed. Many guns in the People's Liberation Army are now apparently turning in his direction...
...Mao's tactical mistake to date in calling for a new revolution seems to have been his failure to understand the forces he was unleashing and the length to which they would go either to propagate or oppose his "thought." So far, Mao claims control in only five of China's 21 provinces; a wall poster quoted Mrs. Mao as admitting that even Peking itself is not entirely subjugated (fully ten of the city's districts are unsafe for Maoism). The rest of the capital, indeed much of the country, remains in chaos. Although many Red Guards...
