...Though the Democratic field is crowded, Yorty stands out clearly in the paper's coverage. His announcement of plans to visit the state rated a three-column headline on Page One, while Edmund Muskie's formal declaration of candidacy was reported on page 12. A note from Chiang Kai-shek to Yorty, acknowledging the mayor's birthday greetings to the generalissimo, got front-page play. Unfavored candidates get heavy coverage in unfavorable situations. When Muskie was noncommittal about Gay Liberation, the Union Leader was there to point out on Page One that he had not condemned...

...Peking reception honoring the 30th anniversary of the Albanian Communist Party last week, a new Politburo pecking order emerged-and there were some stunning surprises. Predictably enough, Chou occupied Lin's No. 2 position. But No. 3 turned out to be none other than Mao's wife Chiang Ching. 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...
