...Your article on the plight of Biafra [Aug. 23] was timely. There have been far too many Nigerian propaganda articles, and far too few truthful ones on the subject. I find a ghastly parallel be tween the murder of 6,000,000 Jews by Germany, and the attempt by Nigeria to destroy Biafra, which will ultimately result in the death of 8,000,000 Ibos if nothing is done...
...Prague progressives, describing Dubcek as a "betrayer of Communist ideals." Pravda was particularly severe in condemning the plans for a party purge; it spoke of "an atmosphere of real pogrom and moral execution." After the takeover, Tass even claimed that the secret party congress in Prague was a reactionary attempt to take over the government?a feat that was hardly possible while So. viet tanks were in the streets.

Last year, when Tanzania nationalized sisal plantations in an attempt to control its traditional No. 1 crop, scores of white settlers were left without compensation. Now the Socialists in Dar es Salaam are quietly advising some ex-sisal farmers that they can have their plantations back. The government has decided that it is better, after all, for the individual entrepreneur to lose money than...
