| Summary/Abstract |
In a 1997 retrospective reviewing the legacy of local Christian radio pioneer George Otis, the Los Angeles Times described him as “a bit like Indiana Jones, but instead of a bullwhip, [he] carries a Bible.”1 Otis, who had built a globe-circling shortwave radio organization, High Adventure Ministries, was likely delighted by the description.2 In the wake of the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli wars, Otis joined a movement of Christian Zionist evangelicals who believed that these conflicts foretold the coming of the Apocalypse and Christ’s return to earth. Especially after the Israeli victory in the 1967 Six-Day war, many evangelicals felt certain that the realization of Biblical prophecy was underway.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the king went astray, the people suffered for it. Just as a wayward king needed loyal and capable courtiers to implement his wishes, so too did Mao Zedong in the People's Republic of China. The Anti-Rightist Campaign was one of Mao's controversial policies, and involved him delegating his trusted followers to implement his political initiatives. This article examines how the Central Secretariat, led by Deng Xiaoping, effectively implemented and strictly supervised the process, as well as the negative influences of the Central Secretariat on this witch-hunt-like campaign. It thus provides a case study of how the Central Secretariat operated and functioned as a powerful political apparatus in the political processes of the Chinese Communist Party during the pre-Cultural Revolution period.
