In London, Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin went so far as to urge sympathy for "people who are struggling against the dictatorial regime of Mao Tse-tung." Everyone knew that the Russians felt that way, but it was the first time that a ranking Soviet official had said it-and in a capitalist capital, of all places.

Mao's increasing dependence on military force illustrated his conviction that "rifles make...
...paces, she peered through her thick-lensed glasses, smiled frozenly through buck teeth and applauded energetically. Thus last week, on film released by Peking and shown on Hong Kong TV, the world outside Red China got a rare glimpse of Chiang Ching, 52, the wife of Chairman Mao Tse-tung, Red China's First Lady, and the Cultural Revolution's public fury...
