...chains: the workers. In this revolutionary spring of 1968, however, it is the students-most of them from comfortable middle-class backgrounds-who have proclaimed themselves the vanguard of a new order. Quite apart from their political impact in the streets, youthful activists are putting the theology of orthodox Communism in a curious pinch: they are revolutionaries from the wrong side of the tracks...
Despite such divergencies, the four books form a fascinating mosaic of the contradictory character of the master spy, a man ruthlessly cold and dedicated to Communism professionally, but by all accounts a warm and likable man in his personal life. Philby dispatched hundreds of Albanian patriots to their deaths, in theory landing them in Albania to stir up resistance, but in fact sending them straight into the guns of the Albanian Communist troops, whom he had tipped off. But he worried over some innocent emigrants mistakenly interned as German agents during World War II. He also wept when...
With 73 parties to choose from, Italy's general elections last week seemed to offer something for every political shopper. The candidates represented all political brands from neo-Fascism to Communism.

One is a reprint from the Columbia University Forum of Conor Cruise O'Brien's "The Counterrevolutionary Reflex," which wearily argues that the United States should not have such a Pavlovian response to communism and revolution, and stops there. The second in particular is Columbia graduate student Samuel Anderson's prose poem, "Mr. Moynihan in Bedford-Stuyvesant." Certainly there are other ways to assert a black identity than by continuing to put down Monynihan. Moynihan's criticism of the American welfare system may still someday make it easier...
What draws young people into S.D.S., says Berkeley Sophomore Peter Stone, 20, is a desire to translate their sense of alienation from society into "a political thing." Products of comfortable, middle-class homes, S.D.S. members typically are disenchanted young liberals. Most feel that anti-Communism is an irrelevant stance. Probably no more than 2% of all S.D.S.-ers belong to the Communist Party. Princeton Sophomore James Tarlau, 20, who was president of his high school student council in Manhattan, once worked for Democratic Representative William Fitts Ryan, eventually turned to S.D.S. after becoming appalled by congressional support for the Viet...
