...voice grew stronger, underlining his return to a state of self-control. He began fencing with his interrogators, even flattering them on occasion with Dale Carnegie-like sincerity. "I appreciate that," he would say, or "I respect you for that." He twitted one man about his age ("You must have married late") and his weight ("Like all Americans physical health gone"). At one point he was asked what he was laughing about. "I'm always agreeable," replied the voice from the recorder. This seeming self-possession was one reason why the prosecution last week played the tapes...
...leap orders China's 74,000-odd communes to forget about any aid from Peking. They have been told that henceforth they themselves-not the government-must remunerate schoolteachers and medical personnel working in the countryside. Commune members are to make their own simple farm tools, freeing industry for more sophisticated production. Moreover, Peking is pushing a frugality theme to such a degree that celebrations for the New Year, China's biggest and happiest holiday, were woefully crimped last month...

Following the lantern come two banner bearers. They, too, as though afraid, huddle together...
...behind them, in five rows of twos, come ten women with thick, burning candles in their hands. They too must all be in the picture. The women are elderly, with strong, dedicated faces, ready to die should the tigers be loosed. Only two are young-as young as the girls who crowd with the boys-but how innocent their faces and how full of light! Ten women sing and walk in serried ranks. They are as triumphant as though all around them were people crossing themselves, praying, repenting, bowing to the ground. These women do not smell the cigarette smoke...
