...this is our 15th on China since the Communists seized power in 1949). Some were shown collectively three years ago, riding a Chinese dragon boat. Individually, it is the fourth time for Mao, followed by Premier Chou En-lai (three times), President Liu Shao-chi and Foreign Minister Chen Yi, all three of whom are now under attack. Our last China cover reported the rise of Defense Minister Lin Piao, who so far seems untouched in the power struggle. The story analyzed the phenomenon of the Red Guards, whose "raucous voices could well be the death rattle of a revolution...

Following a meeting in Warsaw with U.S. Ambassador John Gronouski, the latest in a series of 130 private, little-noted conferences between representatives of the two nations since 1954, Wang delivered a blistering statement, obviously...
Within the year, Lin and fellow Red army marshals-Liu Po-cheng ("The One-Eyed Dragon"), Chen Yi and Peng Teh-huai-had captured all of China, and the grand guerrilla mystique of Mao had proved victorious over the enemy, which outnumbered the Reds 2 to 1. Then, like some ghostly hero whose legends demand his presence only in times of great crisis, Lin Piao dropped from prominence...
