Whatever the coming showdown in the Assembly may bring, another showdown is in the offing out in the streets. Both Communist-led and anti-Communist unions are threatening to hold anti-government demonstrations and strikes. Since the March elections, a series of strikes has swept France. Some 8,000 workers at France's largest shipyards have now been out for two months, and steelworkers in Lorraine have been off the job for five weeks. There is more in store, if large enough masses of Frenchmen can be persuaded to fall in step...
...reproach. The largest and most permanent of the shifting New Left groups is the Students for a Democratic Society (some 30,000 members by rough count), whose president changes every year, and whose members once even considered abolishing the office. Originally part of the left-wing but anti-Communist League for Industrial Democracy, the S.D.S. soon began to strike out on its own. In 1962, at a meeting at Port Huron, Mich., 43 representatives of more than a dozen universities and colleges adopted a lengthy manifesto attacking the quality of American life and the direction of U.S. foreign policy.

However, the Argentine military has a remarkably flexible definition of stable government. The military will hand over the government to the civilians again only when they are convinced that the workers are finished with their revolutionary ideology -- only when the workers have a firm platform which satisfies the industrialists and the petit bourgeois, and which pays off the military...
Unexpected Visitor. In Brazil, the Russians have developed surprisingly close commercial, cultural and personal ties with the country's tough, anti-Communist military government. Last August, Russian Foreign Trade Minister Nikolai Patolichev visited Rio and signed a four-year $100 million credit agreement, making Brazil the biggest recipient of Russian aid in Latin America after Cuba. In Argentina, Soviet relations are almost as cordial with Strongman Juan Carlos Ongania's military government; total trade between the two has gone from $18 million in 1964 to $110 million last year...
