With them came unconfirmed reports that Mao Tse-tung was suffering from throat cancer and that the Red Guard-led purge was the last gasp of a dying dictator. To be sure, Mao has not spoken publicly during his last few outings, allowing Defense Minister Lin Piao (TIME, Sept. 9) to be his mouthpiece.
