...second day was a delegate from Paraguay, who launched an attack on the Chinese. The first nasty epithet was scarcely out of his mouth before Rumania's Ceausescu was scribbling a reply on the notepad in front of him and demanding the floor. The Rumanians had made clear that they would attend the summit only on the understanding that the internal affairs of any Communist Party, present or absent, would not be discussed...
...rapidly changing world, men apparently need a clear image of the "enemy" responsible for their anxiety and frustration. Hence the recent discovery of something called "the Establishment." A more recent American variant is "the military-industrial complex," familiarly known as MIC. The idea descends from Marx's "ruling class" of capitalists, with their grip on government and the cultural "superstructure."

The Biafrans accused them of putting out markers to indicate Biafran positions and of leading Nigerian forces. Other sources related the incident differently. A Nigerian watchman in the oil camp, who survived by hiding under a truck, maintained that Biafran commandos attacked the camp in a surprise dawn raid. They sprayed it with automatic-weapons fire and shot down the eleven who were killed as they emerged from their bunkhouses to see what was happening...
