...worst, the creature's sting produces mutants: witness the work of David Gilhooly, 38. Gilhooly does pottery frogs; rafts of them, dressed up as Mao Tse Toad, posing as the Gautama Buddha or smothering-deep social commentary, this-beneath piles of super market produce. This kind of sensibility, which surfaces in the weaker patches of Arneson's work as well, is meant to be disarmingly ironical...
...course, there have been a few truly sublime metaphors in political history: Lincoln's "house divided," Bryan's "cross of gold." Mao Tse-tung once said: "A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner," which is unarguable. On the whole, however, politicians have lost a lot more than they have gained by reaching for poetry. Warren G. Harding's Inaugural statement that he "would rejoice to acclaim the era of the Golden Rule and crown it with the autocracy of service" is still under review. William Howard Taft, when facing a challenge for renomination...
DIED. Chief Dan George, 82, Canadian Indian noted for his portrayal of the sage Old Lodge Skins in the 1970 movie Little Big Man; in Vancouver, Canada. A former stevedore who served for twelve years as chief of the Tse-lal-watt tribe in his native British Columbia, George began an acting career at age 61 in the Canadian television series Cariboo Country, and strongly maintained that Indians should portray themselves in movies and TV.

These and similar superheated phrases appearing in the Chinese press these days recall the years when the late Mao Tse-tung carried out his frenzied and reckless campaigns for ideological purity in China. Though the more moderate post-Mao leadership in Peking had repeatedly promised not to resume such repression, the official press has recently bristled with attacks on people who are said to hold "corrosive, erroneous ideas...
...Queen of France from 1547 to 1589 and noted butcher of Protestants; Abdul-Hamid II, murderous ruler of the Ottoman Empire from 1876 to 1909; Joseph Stalin, Soviet leader from 1929 to 1953; Adolf Hitler, an automatic club member as leader of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945; Mao Tse-tung, Chinese Communist leader from 1949 to 1976; and the only living honoree, Uganda's brutish, exiled Dictator Idi Amin. Seven politicians, a barbarian, a lady-in-hating and a frustrated artist. But only one woman? Says Steven Schlesinger, one of the voters: "We only selected one woman...
