...undergraduate walked over to Holyoke Center to pay his respects. He found himself in an office decorated with a large post of Mao Tse-Tung talking happily with a cheerful, sprightly, white-haired woman. She assured him his tardy study card would not result in any financial damage. She talked proudly about her son, Fox, then and now a correspondent in the Far East for The New York Times. She inquired kindly about the undergraduate's own career plans...
Says Vice President Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, 65: "Compared to what my generation and Fidel's knew, life nowadays is easy, and this easiness may bring about a certain weakness." Then, getting in a dig at Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communists, Rodriguez adds: "We don't believe in solving this problem with a cultural revolution, parading people around with dunce caps on their heads.

Cuban propaganda on posters and radio broadcasts stresses youth...
...more than five minutes could have elapsed before a ragged group of Communist Chinese soldiers raced down from the hill to line up in an honor guard.

Mao was a genius, Hurley was an ignoramus, and Hurley's arrival in Yenan during that first week in November 1944, to begin American negotiations with Chinese Communists, is a classic instance of the derailment of history by accident...
...losses of recent history is that during the long reign of Mao Tse-tung China produced almost no literature worthy of its tradition. Good living writers were silenced. Bookstores carried mainly the sententious classics of Maoism. That great modern political upheaval, the Cultural Revolution, should have provided the raw material for a thousand creative volumes. It produced not a single novel, story, play or opera published in China. Indeed, were it not for Chen Jo-hsi's collection of poignant stories set in the China of the '60s and early '70s, it is very likely that...
