Teng's New Long March is moving ahead under the ubiquitous slogan STRIVE FOR THE FOUR MODERNIZATIONS! The four: industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defense. The goals that the Peking leadership has set for China are truly herculean-perhaps too much so for a country that is still recovering from the shocks and turmoils of Mao's last years. Thus many Sinologists wonder whether the ambitions of Teng and his pragmatic followers may not eventually prove to be as chimerical as those of Mao's 1958 Great Leap Forward, when peasants were urged to smelt...
...city's business and civic leaders are trying to rebuild the city's image with a $4.3 million promotion campaign. TV, radio and magazine ads have been prepared around the slogan, THERE'S A WHOLE NEW GENERATION IN CLEVELAND, AND WE'RE BUILDING A WHOLE NEW TOWN.

The slogan seems at first to be no different from the exhortations that decorate buildings throughout the U.S.S.R. Unlike many of the others, however, the slogan at Novovoronezh, some 300 miles south of Moscow, reflects as much realism as rhetoric. The Soviet Union is by no means ready to beat all of its nuclear swords into plowshares. But it is moving vigorously to put the atom to work...
Both candidates are staunch advocates of the state's oil and gas interests. Krueger first gained notoriety when, as a freshman representative, he almost pushed a deregulation bill through the House. Bumperstickers which read "Krueger of Texaco" have surfaced recently, parodying his campaign slogan, "Krueger of Texas." And what Tower lacks in flair as a champion of industry, he makes up in consistency...
