Pug the Detectve on the Streets of New York

Mao Zedong introduced his idea of paper tigers to Americans in a 1946 interview with journalist Anna Louise Strong: "...he outcome of a war is decided by the people, not by one or two new types of weapons. All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful." A decade later, Mao was interviewed by Strong a second time, and invoked the concept again: "In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of; it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe that it is nothing but a paper tiger."
