Besides the fact that Lin is not physically robust, his political health may also be failing. He was closely identified with the excesses of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of 1966-69, and since then has been associated with the camp of the "ultraleftists"-die-hards of the Red Guard school. The ultraleftists have been gradually ousted from provincial councils over the past two years by the coalition of the army and government moderates ruling China, and that purge reached a new intensity over the past few weeks...
...again she might not. For all her rhinoceros qualities, she is deeply feminine (pace, Women's Lib) and, as former Campaign Manager Doug Ireland says, "vulnerable as a lady."

By adapting the new forms of the Italian quattrocento and connecting them to the already robust tradition of the German print, he almost singlehandedly provoked the Northern Renaissance. No single aspect of Dürer's work can do justice to the protean richness of his imagination and temperament. For all-round inquisitiveness, he was surpassed only by his older contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci...
