Models of militancy illustrate this pithy
Mao quote and the point is made again by a
mushroom cloud rising from behind the sharp red
pencil grasped in a huge fist. This is another
good example of Jiang Qing’s “three
prominences” formula being applied, where
the outstanding figures are the most prominent
and the bad elements vanish from the picture.
