...reduced this advantage in 1958 by enacting a law permitting émigrés living in the U.S. to vote by mail; that measure ensured the support of the many San Marinese who had grown relatively prosperous-and thus relatively conservative -on American soil.* Three years ago, however, a Communist coalition managed to repeal the law. With the opposition stripped of its U.S. mail-order vote, the Communists were hopeful of regaining the power they had enjoyed for twelve years after World...
...tung, Vo Nguyen Giap and Ernesto Che Guevara -all of whom hold that the proper arena for armed revolutionary struggle is the countryside. With the exception of Fidel Castro's Cuba, that kind of warfare has not been notably successful in Latin America. Venezuela fought off a bloody Communist challenge in the mid-'60s partly because rural folk often betrayed the guerrillas. Guevara himself was killed by government troops in 1967, when the Bolivian peasants he sought to stir up gave no support to his cause...

Chile's Communist Party denounced the terrorists as "gangsters"; they, in turn, accused the Communists of "passivity and betrayal...

In 1952, he refused to nullify President Truman's seizure of the steel industry, only to be reversed by the Supreme Court; ten years later, he fined the U.S. Communist Party $120,000 for failing to register as an agent of the Soviet Union, and was reversed again. As a colleague put it: "Most of us take the higher courts as guidelines, but not Alex. He used to say, They're not superior to me,' and rule...
