...clash between those two viewpoints kindled tensions again last week in Pittsburgh, where 3,000 demonstrators paraded through downtown streets to demand more construction jobs for Negroes. "Freedom! Freedom!" chanted the marchers, as they raised clenched fists, waved black flags and circled building projects manned by unions whose memberships are almost exclusively white. More than 1,000 white demonstrators-clergymen, suburban housewives, students and even a few businessmen-marched along with ghetto militants...
...ferocity of Steppenwolf's lyrics ("Get the motor running/Shoot out on the highway / Looking for adventure / And whatever comes our way / Hey darling gonna make it happen / Take the world in a love embrace / Fire all of our guns at once and explode into space") and these disjunct moods clash to disengage the viewer.

Even relatively untroubled Chile saw its first political robbery this month. Chile's Communist Party denounced the terrorists as "gangsters"; they...

Since then, the feud has grown to epic proportions. Last March, just after a bitter, bloody Soviet-Chinese clash on the Ussuri River, Kosygin sought to telephone Peking's leaders. As Chinese Defense Minister Lin Piao later told the story, the Chinese replied coldly: "In view of the present relations between China and the Soviet Union, it is unsuitable to communicate by telephone.
