...riding a Chinese dragon boat. Individually, it is the fourth time for Mao, followed by Premier Chou En-lai (three times), President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, all three of whom are now under attack. Our last China cover reported the rise of Defense Minister Lin Piao, who so far seems untouched in the power struggle. The story analyzed the phenomenon of the Red Guards, whose "raucous voices could well be the death rattle of a revolution," and concluded: "Like all revolutions, China's has reached a point of critical decision...

The Red Rebel Workers are factory hands, union men, who have been judged untainted by the technical, urban, non-ideological values Mao detects...
...risen rapidly since last August to become one of Mao's inner circle as party propaganda chief. Tao Chu appeared at a rally in the company of Chou Enlai the same day that he was criticized on Peking's walls. Since even Lin Piao, Mao's new heir apparent and chief hatchetman for the revolution, has on occasion been the object of a nasty poster, it may well be that anti-Maoites have been doing some midnight scribbling of their...
