...York, the principal staff group assigned to the story-Senior Editor Michael Demarest, Writer Ronald Kriss and Researcher Harriet Heck-worked in an isolated, unmarked suite of offices on the 40th floor of the Time & Life Building, while some other non-TIME tenants near by wondered what mysterious strangers were doing there when everyone else on the floor was on the way home for the evening. For Mike Demarest, it was the third Man of the Year project in a row, since he handled the stories on General William Westmoreland (Jan. 7, 1966) and the Twenty-five and Under generation...

...army is essential if his revolutionary dream is to come to pass. Last week Red Flag bluntly warned that the Maoists "face the danger of losing the army," and Mao took action. First, he promised that all of the top brass who would come to the army's 40th anniversary party and repent and switch to his full support "would be welcomed." The ploy was a dismal failure: only four of China's 13 regional commanders showed. Then, amid dark hints of a major purge, Mao summoned a meeting of the Politburo in Peking to discuss what...
