...becoming apparent that a growing majority of moderate African states want no part of their plans.

In Moscow the Communist Parties of 19 nations gathered to talk about repairing their badly chipped bloc, predictably condemned the U.S. for "barbarous" behavior but issued no call for action. Some 2,000 so-called "students"-mostly Asians-unleashed an unbridled attack on the U.S. Embassy, and the Soviet government obviously was embarrassed at the necessity of calling out 600 cops and 500 militiamen to quell...
