Both critics insist that college presidents should do more to break the ties that bind their schools to Government and business.

The youthfulness of the Red Guards (most were between 10 and 18 years of age) is logical from Mao's viewpoint, since they symbolize for him a vital new order. But it seems hard to understand why youths should be so violently afraid of death and fearful for their immortality. Lifton quotes extensively from Red Guard statements, most of which in fact emphasize the destruction of the old and its replacement with the new. But this does...
