******************************************************** I remember seeing a sea of red flags and people with Mao buttons pinned to their jackets back, waving plastic coated Red Books. Ah thsoe heady daze of the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution".... There would be Mao (sans pin) up on the podium and every one of his cohorts would have a Mao button on. They varied in size, just like today's US flag pins. I could only see one other person in photos of that time who did not wear a Mao button. Chou-En-lai. He did sport a pin though. I was told that it read, "Serve the People". Maybe Kerry should re-think his symbols and develop a flaming Twin Tower or something--sort of like the Christians with their symbols of execution/guilt.
