Red Legacy in China


Today is the opening day of the conference at Harvard pictured on cover. This photograph shows Maoist acolytes reading from the "Little Red Book," the compilation of quotations from Mao put together by his Defense Minister Lin Biao. There are two framed photographs visible at lower right, the one leaning from lower right to upper left is "Chairman Mao Goes to Anyuan," the photographic theme for the Harvard conference.
