...Chinese communists are the classic practitioners of successful guerrilla warfare. China was a country mired in social and economical injustice, with an impotent and corrupt government. Nevertheless, the Red Army was on the verge of destruction when the Japanese invasion in 1937 drove the Nationalist and warlord forces away and thus allowed the guerrillas to enter the villages not only as reformers but also as effective champions of nationalism in opposition to a foreign invader.

Seasons fill an audience demand; they are based on what went well the last time around. Currently, the audience wants social commentary--in one form or another...
...requirements to those of the Founding Fathers. Justice Story, moreover, has written that "it would seem but fair reasoning, upon the plainest principles of interpretation, that when the Constitution established certain qualifications as necessary for office, it meant to exclude all others as prerequisites." Congress has nevertheless successfully added new requirements by statute, such as the Edmunds Act of 1882 excluding polygamists...
