She was one of the reddest of the Red Guard leaders during the Cultural Revolution, and her rise may spell new power for the small nucleus of relatively youthful leftists in the Politburo. One of its key figures is Yao Wenyuan, who is rumored to be Chiang Ching's son-in-law and is Peking's new press and propaganda chief; another is Chang Chun-chiao, party boss of Shanghai, who recently has been working out of Peking as China's man in charge of relations with foreign...
