...Chou En-lai the ultimate (if still unnamed) target of these ideological onslaughts? There is no question that the campaign against the Peach Mountain opera was launched by Chou's leftist enemies - notably Chiang Ching, wife of Mao Tse-tung - and that by making it a national issue, his radical adversaries have proved their strength. Still, this does not mean that the pliable, politically skillful Premier Chou is in any immediate danger of being isolated in the emerging struggle over who will succeed the aging...
...some critics say, it would have been less damaging in the long run than Japan's subsequent loss of face. One specific complaint of U.S. intelligence experts who resent Kissinger's excessive sense of secrecy: the fact that information about his talks in Peking with Chinese Chairman Mao Tse-tung have never been allowed to circulate beyond the White House...
...bourgeois composers as Beethoven and Schubert, but a Chinese opera with the ponderous title Three Ascents Up Peach Mountain.

As for the Pay Board's belated discovery that the miners were not being paid 3% above the average industrial wage but 8% below, Wilson drew cheers with the Churchillian parody that "never in the history of arithmetic...
Ironically, some aspects of Communist rule are reminiscent of these Confucianist ideas. Mao Tse-tung studied the Confucian classics for six years as a youth and never entirely escaped their influence. In his four-volume Selected Works, no less than 22% of his references to other writers are to the sage or his disciples-just short of the 24% devoted to Front-Runner Joseph Stalin...
