...next door at the Jazz Workshop, the best jazz place in town. Smith goes way back--he got his start playing organ in the bop era, and is now arguably the best jazz organist around and certainly one of the most durable. His "Hootchie-Cootchie Man" and "Got My Mojo Working" are classics. Smith usually plays in an organ-guitar-drums trio, but the personnel varies. Along with Watson, this sounds like the week's best music bet. July 1 through 7, call 267-1300 for times here and at Paul's Mall...
Political Laboratory. Kuo Mojo, the venerable head of China's Academy of Sciences, was surprised to learn from Terrill that one of his books, Ancient Chinese Society, was still on sale, even though Kuo was reported to have ordered it burned during the Cultural Revolution. He nonetheless autographed Terrill's copy and let out the news that Chairman Mao, at 77, is learning English, and enjoys tossing around newly learned phrases like "law-and-order...

"Jazz," he says, "has to mutate in order to survive...
There was plenty of Maoist presence in the continuing purge of "pragmatic" intellectuals and administrators that began two weeks ago with the downfall of Poet-Scientist Kuo Mojo (TIME, May 13). Latest victim of the "rectification campaign" aimed at restoring rigid Mao-think is Teng To, a sometime litterateur and secretary of the Peking municipal party organization. Also missing from public view and mention: Peking Mayor Peng Chen, 67, an upper-echelon Politburo member who was long regarded as a contender for Mao's chair when he dies. Peng's top adversary is Defense Minister Lin Piao...
