Wrecking Praises. Four months ago when Mao insisted that the time had come to begin hothouse cultivation of "the hundred flowers" of criticism, the suspicion was that he was looking for noxious weeds to bare their heads to the party scythe.

In Rochester, James Robert Cronmiller, 6, answered the telephone, agreed to take a message for his father but asked the caller to wait while he got a pencil, returned shortly, explained that the point was broken, went for another, returned, announced: "I'm here.
