Deng, purged twice during the Cultural Revolution, was finally returned to power in what Salisbury calls a military coup. One of the most powerful old marshals, Ye Jianying, brought his army colleagues together and decided that when Mao died, they would arrest Jiang and her cohort. Kang died of cancer in December 1975, and Zhou a month later. When Mao finally died at 82 in September 1976, Ye clapped the venomous widow into prison and summoned Deng from his rural exile...
...such a personal attack on Gomes in keeping with this great University's spirit and tradition of academic vigor and fairness? The strong biblical and universal admonition, "Judge not, that ye be not judged," keeps coming to mind. Also the old song title, "Try a Little Tenderness...

As did Blair, who treated the intervening 1,500- m race as training, easing up for the last 400 m.

But by the incomprehensibly slim margin of .02 sec., less than the blink of an eye, Blair had won a second gold medal, making her the first American woman to take...
...television viewer cannot see so clearly the effect of the internal wake- up calls, the biological clocks, the steady tick, tock, tick. Ye Qiaobo, just after becoming the first Chinese athlete ever to win a Winter medal, in the women's 500-m speed-skating event, got up on a podium a composed 27-year- old woman in a purple track suit who had been done out of her gold, she felt, by a competitor's error. Would she protest? "Maybe I will try" -- and the whole room held its breath -- "to set my sights for the next Olympic Games...
