...premier without going to the polls. Socialist Premier Zhan Videnov resigned in late December, amid mounting criticism for his failure to resurrect Bulgaria's economy. Last year's inflation was 310 percent, unemployment is 14 percent and the average monthly wage has plummeted to $20. Bulgarians chose an anti-Communist, Petar Stoyanov, as the new president. He takes office Jan. 22, but in Bulgaria, the real power rests in Parliament. And Bulgarians want the Socialists out. But even as cheers of "Victory!" and "Elections!" rang out in the crowd, Georgi Parvanov, the leader of the Socialist Party, made it clear...
...Indonesia had been a Marxist state, America undoubtedly would have opposed the invasion and transformed it into a pressing global issue. But true to the Cold War pattern, the atrocities committed by America's right-wing and reactionary allies were ignored or even encouraged and praised using twisted anti-communist logic. For example, the Reagan administration pretended that the rape, torture and murder of civilians ranging from students to nuns in El Salvador was merely a legitimate attempt to resist Soviet encroachment in the Western hemisphere.

Moreno '00) and an amazingly facile and supinely cynical Rosemary Kennedy (Samantha S.B. van Gerbig '98).

In any case, the Reds are no less possessed by the other-wordly than the conniving...
...Russian President Boris Yeltsin's campaign has turned to scare tactics as the election nears. On Thursday, Yeltsin's top political aide warned that Gennadi Zyuganov, the Communist Party leader and leading presidential candidate, was plotting to steal the election by voter fraud and threatening a civil war. Although anti-Communist scare tactics have long been a feature of the election campaign, this attack was by far the most incendiary. "Yeltsin's team is trying to paint the race as a black and white contest, even though there are 11 candidates in the first round pool," says Moscow correspondent Sally...
...endorsement from one of the other challengers might put Yeltsin over the top. "Zhirinovsky is controlled by Yeltsin's camp," says TIME's Yuri Zarakhovich. "They are holding his KGB file over his head. As a result, Yeltsin can count on Zhirinovsky to come out with a tough anti-communist stance. Yeltsin, who cannot condemn Zyuganov too strongly at the risk of alienating voters, is using Zhirinovsky to remind voters that Communism...
