...still mysterious for a long time. To this day we know little about the post-Stalinist power struggle in Russia; the upheaval in China should be as difficult to straighten out. To the beast of our knowledge this week's conflict is at least partially the result of a tug of war between provincial and national leaders in China, a tug of war in which the two teams temporarily have lost patience, dropped the rope, and rushed each other...

...McGeath, a clerk in Dallas' big new Sanger-Harris department store, was trimming a display Christmas tree one afternoon when she felt a tug on her skirt. "Lady," said a four-year-old boy, his tiny face knotted with perplexity, "Lady, it's not even Halloween yet." It wasn't, either. Sanger-Harris, together with many other U.S. depart ment stores, installed its early-bird Christmas Shop in October this year, replete with cards, creches, plastic Christmas trees, tinsel and wrappings. The U.S. shopper is not imagining things. Christmas does come a little earlier each year...

...officers of U.S.S. Safeguard (ARS-25) noted with much interest your story, "The Skunk Watchers" [Oct. 14]. As Safeguard is a sister ship to the U.S.S.

...Many. Thus ended a long, sometimes bitter tug-of-war that began 31 months ago, when Castello Branco declared war on corruption, graft and "anti-revolutionaries." Too often for congressional comfort, that label came to include legislators themselves, who found their mandates canceled. Not until last year did Congress finally stand up to the President; in a rare show of unity, it refused to vote Castello Branco sweeping new powers-including the right to close down Congress. So Castello Branco simply put the rules into effect by decree, and for good measure dissolved Brazil's 13 political parties...

...hour and 13 minutes the converted Russian tuna boat chased one of the mightiest ships of the Seventh Fleet; in turn, it was chased by one of the scruffiest vessels in the U.S. Navy. The U.S.S. Conserver is a rust-pitted, rickety tug, built in 1945 and capable of a scant 14 knots ("with plenty of wind and a little bit of lying"). Nonetheless, it managed to close on the trawler's starboard side and station itself between the Russian and the carrier, thus averting, if not a collision, then at least an embarrassing change of course...
