Equally at risk are the political and institutional reforms which Deng has initiated over the past eight years. He had sought to put an end to class struggle in favour of economic development, the century-old search for national wealth and power. But a struggle between "bourgeois" and "socialist" ideas is now inevitable. Can it be contained by newborn and fragile "legal" norms? And how will Deng sustain his opening to the West, the alleged source of China's "spiritual pollution?" As important, Deng's preemptory behaviour in the present crisis has fractured the image of a new, un-Maoist...

Steinem points a critical feminist finger at the Freudian psychoanalysts who could not help Monroe solve her problems because of the inherent sexism of Freud's theories.

None other than the mighty Pravda, the official Communist Party newspaper, rushed to Berkhin's defense with two articles setting out the details of his arrest, 14-day detention and the police search of his apartment. Pravda charged that Berkhin's only crime was that he had done his job too well, riling local authorities by exposing government corruption in a coal-mining region of the Ukraine. The paper concluded that the secret police had committed "gross violations of socialist legality" in their treatment...
