...with signs proclaiming that anyone against Chou ought to have "his head bashed in." Foreign Minister Chen Yi, considered a Mao man, was also attacked.

If some young Ariel occasionally soars past the lyrical altitude expected of his years, the world only marvels at his precocity. But Richard Lewis, 31, believes that children are born poets who move surely through the language of metaphor and song, and he offers this anthology in evidence...
