...Your cover story on that nut house called China [Sept. 9] was a splendid piece of political writing. Mao Tse-tung has gone even beyond Stalin, his patron saint and political guru, in villainy. No political leader in history cuts such a ridiculous figure trying to stamp his aging image on the hearts of nearly 800 million people...

Last week Lin was placed directly in command of the Red Guards-a position heretofore held...
Personal Attention. Host Prince Norodom Sihanouk had long been on record as considering De Gaulle and Mao Tse-tung the two greatest men in the world; thus, since Mao had never made the scene, De Gaulle was clearly Cambodia's all-time guest. Ever since De Gaulle invited himself, Sihanouk had been beside himself with preparations, personally presiding over every detail...
