From an endorsement of T'ien An Men, it was a small ideological step to allowing public criticism of Mao. Radical supporters of the Chairman had been responsible for condemning the mourning of Chou-who was, of course, Teng's protector and guide.

All that is changed now. Last week, when Israel invaded another Arab state, Lebanon, there was no talk of mobilizing the Egyptian armed forces, and the Egyptian President at first criticized the Israeli action with notable restraint.
