...Soviet Union as the paramount world danger and said frequently that he would rather ally himself with the Nazis than with the U.S.S.R., a nation of "godlessness, cruelty, and barbarism." It would be totally unreasonable to suggest that Lindbergh's views on these questions failed to color his perspective on foreign policy. To present the picture, as Cole does, by claiming that Lindbergh suffered from his detractors in the same way that internationalists suffered from McCarthyism is a clear historical distortion. It is apparent that most of those who McCarthy charged with disloyalty, for example, the leading China experts...
...beat Boyle in 1972 and appointed his press secretary, Don Stillman, 29, a Columbia University School of Journalism graduate, to the Journal's editorship. A stocky, plain-spoken journalist with a passion for fair reporting, Stillman rushed the Journal through present shock. He improved the layout, introduced four-color covers, hired a staff photographer whose job included investigative work, and stopped running the magazine as a presidential patsy. "But the No. 1 change," explained Stillman, "is that we place our emphasis on what is going on in the coal fields. Most unions report the news from...

The content of the speech, carefully put into terms which he deemed acceptable to a militant black audience, was solidly anti-imperialist. He called for unity among all peoples of color "on the basis of what we have in common," namely, exploitation by the international capitalist system. By this time, Malcolm had long since discarded the race analysis of the Muslims, and realized that the enemy was not the white race per se, but the whites who happen to constitute the international...
...only one facet of the world revolution against imperialism. Through his fledgling Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) Malcolm was hammering home to American blacks the message that they were part of a world-wide struggle, a struggle in which they were in the majority as peoples of color. The attempts of the white media to smear him as a "hate-monger" who taught "racism in reverse" (as if an oppressed nationality acting in self-defense is capable of institutionalizing "racism in reverse"!) increased in intensity, with added accusations of his being a communist. His legendary charisma as a leader...
