...conspiracy theories, a new one was being lighted?and in the unlikeliest of places: Moscow?by Author Julian Semyonov. His theory, published in the Russian weekly Ogonyok: Lee Harvey Oswald was a Chinese agent, and the conspiracy to kill the President was a joint effort of American gangsters and anti-Soviet strategists in Peking...
...page book hit stores across the country last week, and the CIA hit the ceiling. The book reprints some 300 pages of anti-CIA articles that have been published elsewhere, including tips on how to identify undercover agents through public documents. But the book's appendix, 415 yellow pages, is a dossier on more than 700 CIA operatives, most of them in Western Europe, listing their vital statistics, including names, work experience and home addresses.

The anti-racist money, raised separately from regular W.C.C. dues, is earmarked for welfare purposes, not military spending, but the W.C.C. does not monitor its use. Opponents say the grants amount to a moral endorsement of terrorism. Even America's pro-ecumenical Christian Century editorialized that because the welfare grants merely free funds for war use, those backing the armed struggle in Rhodesia should be candid about their role as "vicarious doers...
