...irony of our day is that Labor Czar Meany, the dedicated antiCommunist, has placed this nation in greater peril than all of our outside enemies combined. That the electorate has given the power of life and death over our economy to these labor tyrants, and subordinated the so-called Chief Executive to dinated the so-called Chief Executive to their will, says something significant about the composite intelligence of the American people, and it is not complimentary...
More elusive to consideration are Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty. Although ostensibly private organizations, they have received considerable financial and editorial aid from the CIA (which is, of course, "empowered to undertake unspecified activities abroad," and does). Radio Free Europe is manned by embittered anticommunist intellectuals from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, and broadcasts from Munich, but its handbook states that it "cannot take a line contrary to United States Government policy or to the beliefs of the United States and American institutions." Radio Liberty (formerly Radio Liberation) is designed to foment anti-Soviet aggression wherever socialist take...
...insane asylum. Instead, he fled to the Bavarian Alps, and later made a deal with the invading Americans: 50 cases of secret data on the Red Army in return for U.S. financial and political backing for what became Bonn's postwar espionage organization, the BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst).

His unabashed materialism and anti-Communism have won him many enemies on the left within the Democratic Party; Meany is so antiCommunist, in fact, that he refuses to smoke Havana cigars. Indeed, it looked for a few months last year as if Meany might lead a contingent of labor into the waiting arms of Richard Nixon. Meany and the executive council of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. had been staunchly supporting the President's policies...
...Though a professed antiCommunist, Minh has long tried to present himself as a moderate who could lead a future government of national reconciliation. His prospects-and Ky's, too, perhaps -may well have been strengthened by the stunning announcement of Richard Nixon's planned trip to Peking, which enhances the plausibility of Minh's conciliatory position. Moreover, many observers see in the latest Communist signals in Paris an oblique endorsement of Minh as a man whom both Hanoi and the National Liberation Front would be willing to live with, at least for a while. As yet, Minh...
