...guerrilla war, the fighting can be vicious, and Mondlane, a gentle and cultivated man, seemed to some of those he met remarkably out of character as the leader of such a movement. Perhaps his single greatest talent lay in wangling aid from both the Communist and capitalist worlds: "I get weapons from the East and money from the West," he told a TIME correspondent last year...
...Soviet leadership has of course never fully believed its own propaganda image of the American as a top-hatted, cigar-puffing Wall Street capitalist. But neither has it built up an objective store house of information on the U.S., even for scholars. An American diplomat stationed in Moscow some years ago, for example, discovered that books pertaining to the study of the U.S.-Persian relations in the famed Lenin library were catalogued under the letter I, for "In famous U.S.-Persian relations."

This kind of rigid social determinism is discredited by the empirical truth that the institutions of the Soviet Union have largely been changed but its people seem just as avaricious as any in the world. The two developments are linked. Capitalism breeds a capitalist mentality but its grip is not unshakable. A man can, of his own free will, renounce his old mentality for a new one. Radicalism will breed just as fragile a radical mentality. The choice belongs to, and remains with, each...
