...fighting any longer confined to the ideological rivalry between pro-Mao and anti-Mao forces. It has degenerated into a sort of blood feud, curdled by the atrocities committed by each side against the other, motivated by revenge and the determination to seize-or retain-power for its own sake. The erstwhile Cultural Revolution that started it all has splintered into literally thousands of factions, each with militant followers, many equipped with heavy weapons raided from local military armories...

Though giants, both men are essentially impotent, and to Mayer--as to Welles--this is not a small part of the American myth, for their impotence is both a driving source of power and an ultimate source...
