...powerful figures who belong to the dominant Kikuyu tribe: Minister of Natural Resources Mbiyu Koinange, 71, Attorney General Charles Njonjo, 58, and Finance Minister Mwai Kibaki, 47, whom arap Moi straightaway appointed as his Vice President. That troika, along with Kenyatta, has plotted Kenya's pro-Western, pro-capitalist course for the past several years. Their support guaranteed arap Moi's unopposed selection by a caucus of the country's only party, the Kenya African National Union...
...with nostalgia over the hundreds of thousands who massed in Washington for the moratoriums against the Vietnam War. But those were the clear-cut issues, glamorous in a strange way; they were drama. But where was the institutional depth to deal with the more complicated structural issues, the inbred capitalist priority system? Check out your own neighborhood to see how far we still have to go on race relations. Tremble a little in the night over visions of the fleets of C-147 transports--in the macho twinkling of a President's eye we could be marching the streets...
Remember the '50s. Nuf said. Remember the '40s, when our fathers died to rid the world of Capitalism's Evil Mutant, while our economy entered the state capitalist stage, run by and for big businessmen.

Nine years ago, when Crimson editorials protested the University administration's brutal handling of a student strike, the "authorities" encouraged the formation of a new, "conservative" alternative, The Independent. Yet over the years The Independent, too, became sometimes critical of the administration, and now the Faculty...
...aircraft flying on major routes at peak periods were totally jammed. Last month there were only seven unoccupied seats on all Pan Am planes arriving in the U.S. from Europe and the Middle East. The earnings of airlines are heading toward unprecedented heights, proving the old (and often ignored) capitalist doctrine that lower prices lead to higher demand, which in turn creates higher profits. In the first six months earnings jumped 16.3%, and for the full year should hit a record $1 billion. This year's surge, says Eastern Air Lines President Frank Borman, the former astronaut, "has been above...
