...Traffic. At last Mao Tse-tung himself received them in a secret rendezvous in the Forbidden City. Over fragrant tea and flanked by Chou and the party's chief theoretician, Liu Shao-chi, Mao-asked solicitously if they were tired from their rounds, and Franklin admitted that all of them together would not make one "Model Worker." But Mao was in a serious mood. ("He would make an outstanding labor negotiator," said Earn-shaw.) Blandly, he laid on the line his terms for coexistence. He wanted Attlee to ask the U.S. to 1) withdraw the U.S. Seventh Fleet...

He has built up a strong party following among the younger, more...
Schumacher's iron hand brooks no opposition in his own party. He is the SPD -boss, organizer, judge, theoretician, tactician and strategist. For questioning some of Schumacher's violent stands, three of the strongest and, to the West, most friendly Socialists in Germany have been consigned to Schumacher's limbo. They are called "the three mayors"-Ernst Reuter of West Berlin, Wilhelm Kaisen of Bremen and Max Brauer of Hamburg, a onetime U.S. citizen...
