...Movement, calls "the long march through the institutions." The archetype of the new, sober, methodical and coolly professional radical is Wolfgang Roth, 32, the ambitious, mod-haired leader of the openly Marxist Jusos (Young Socialists), who have virtually seized from within the left wing of Chancellor Willy Brandt's Social Democratic Party (TIME, April 23). Instead of only taking to the streets, French Maoists are now working on assembly lines, the better to be able to recruit workers for the revolution...

In Bonn, 2,500 leftist rioters wrecked the 18th century town hall to protest the visit, while in Hannover, Chancellor Willy Brandt bluntly told a cheering audience: "Some visitors one would rather see leaving than coming." Choppered over Rome, again to avoid demonstrators, Thieu dropped in at the Vatican, where Pope Paul VI urged him to release his political prisoners. Later, at a news conference, Thieu contended that there were only...
