...this intensity began to leak out of his work after the shooting, and by the end of the '70s it was gone. His energy last flickered in the hieratic images of Mao Tse-tung (1973) and perhaps in the 1976 paintings of hammers and sickles. The rest was mostly social portraiture, liquor endorsements and bathetic collaborations with junior burnouts like Jean-Michel Basquiat, along with one single-theme edition of prints after another. But even in decline, Warhol remained indicative...
...first hard evidence that Deng was slipping came on Feb. 16, when major Chinese newspapers published a 1962 speech he made attacking Mao Tse-tung for both his one-man rule and his disastrous economic policies during the Great Leap Forward of 1958-60. Some observers took this as an attack on Deng's own leadership. Said one Asian diplomat: "I can't believe Deng wanted that old speech to be printed.

It came less than a month after a more...
...leader, Deng Xiaoping. Beginning this week, all state-owned enterprises will be allowed to hire some workers under contracts similar to Li's. The change represents a dramatic turning away from the system of lifetime employment that the Chinese have clung to since the Communists took power under Mao Tse-tung in 1949. Says Max Boisot, a Peking-based British economist: "This is probably the biggest step of all Deng's reforms. If it succeeds, a lot of others will fall into place...
