...emphasis on increased production also has a non-Maoist element. Of course, not even the Great Helmsman would oppose higher productivity; all groups in China agree on that goal. But it was at Mao's insistence that a clause guaranteeing the workers' right to strike was included in China's new constitution early this year. That right is not exactly being promoted by the presence of thousands of soldiers in the factories of Hangchow. In the view of many observers, party control and productivity are taking priority over Mao's desire for ideological purity. In that...

In all, leaders or representatives of 35 states will gather at Helsinki, including spokesmen for the Vatican and every European country except myopic, Maoist Albania. Everyone seemed to be groping for a phrase that would sum up the spectacle. Departing slightly from theatrical images, a European delegate murmured: "Helsinki will be a living Madame Tussaud's, the greatest show of living waxworks on earth...
