Most Communist governments seemingly dusted off the rote anticapitalist, anti-imperialist tirade from the agitprop manual. Indeed, their response was probably the most realistic of all, for they had plainly long accepted the inevitability of U.S. raids on such inviting targets. One Moscow commentator noted that Soviet policymakers had regarded them as "imminent for some time." Peking, preoccupied with its internal "purification" purge, unstoppered the prescription brimstone but pointedly refrained from any specific threat to enter the war or increase its assistance to Hanoi. As for Hanoi, its reaction had a certain surrealistic quality, with broadcasts about "a big victory...
...literally: commander or headman) of Spain by the Grace of God." And quite probably, no one is more surprised. For until six years ago, Spain was isolated from most of the world, brooding, stewing in its evaporating juice. Foreign investment was unwanted and restricted, and Franco was as openly anticapitalist as he was antiCommunist.

Teacher's Pet. Giving up the soft life of a Moscow student, with its "party spouses" and anticapitalist polemics, Ho set out for China under the name of Nguyen Ai Quoc (roughly, "Smith the Patriot"), as agitator and translator for Stalin's agent Mikhail Borodin.

As an opportunistic Vice President under Jânio Quadros, he toured Red China, heaping praise on Mao Tse-tung's regime as "an example that shows how people can emancipate themselves from the yoke of their exploiters." Last week Goulart, now Pres ident of Latin America's biggest and most important nation, arrived in Washington for a seven-day visit...
...preach worker solidarity to illiterates who have never heard of Marx, much less George Meany. I.C.F.T.U. makes a point that colonial officials cannot: that the time and money of union leaders in African lands are far better spent in free bargaining with employers to raise wages than in bitter anticapitalist, antiwhite efforts to wipe the employers out. The very presence in Africa of I.C.F.T.U.'s men as advocates of the employee underdog often strengthens the point that not all Westerners are ''colonialist imperialists...
