...appeal to the world's yearning for peace. But it was a measure of the degree to which Khrushchev had turned the world upside down in the last month that the West could even conceive of him as a shield and buckler against the belligerence of Mao Tse-tung's China...
...China. On the broad avenues of the capital, thousands of workers, wearing white kerchiefs on their heads, marched and countermarched in rehearsal for the big parade. All along the parade route, every bit of bare wall was decorated with portraits of Red China's leaders-Mao Tse-tung, Liu Shao-chi and Chou Enlai, in that order-and posters proclaiming that life is getting better and better in the people's paradise...
