...born in 1916 to a landlord of the Yunnan province in southern China. She quit college in Peking and joined the Communists after Mao's Long March of the mid-1930s. She soon met Teng, one of the party's rising stars. Teng had apparently abandoned a first wife, betrothed to him by his parents without his consent, and had lost his second wife, perhaps during the Long March. He and Cho Lin were married...
Still holding elective office 19 years later, Thelma pounced again last March, after she had moved up to Lieutenant Governor. When the current Governor, Democrat Julian Carroll, left the state briefly, Stovall exercised her temporary veto authority to kill the Kentucky legislature's attempt to rescind its earlier ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.

His Caesar could as easily be the chairman of some conglomerate as dictator of the Roman world. When the Ides of March finally arrive for him, Director Herbert Wise has the conspirators slowly circle around him, like snarling dogs around a tired stag. It is a shockingly intense scene and, as he is struck by Brutus, his favorite, Caesar clutches and almost kisses him, uttering a scarcely audible "Et tu, Brute...
