...late 1940s, as a vehemently anti-Communist Congressman, Richard Nixon charged that then Secretary of State Dean Acheson suffered from "a form of pinkeye toward the Communist threat in the U.S." Twenty years have changed both men, and last week Acheson turned up to help Nixon in the President's battle to win congressional approval of the Administration's Safeguard anti-ballistic-missile system. Democrat Acheson, along with former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Nitze and Albert Wohlstetter, a nuclear-war strategist at the University of Chicago, announced that they were forming a bipartisan group of scientists, professors...
...Interim President Alain Poher, and that, too, had been anticipated. What was unexpected was Poher's failure to get more than a quarter of the votes cast. It was a sharp drop in his earlier support, and it appeared largely due to the strong, late showing of Communist Jacques Duclos, an ebullient campaigner who more than doubled his initially expected share of the vote. With virtually all the returns counted on election night, Pompidou had a strong 44% of the tally, Poher only 23%, with Duclos close behind...
...some 70 countries around the world, Communist Party leaders last week brushed up on their Lenin, packed their suitcases, and prepared to be fellow travelers with a single destination: Moscow. The capital's hotels, including the new 3,000-room Rossia, just off Red Square, braced for the greatest onslaught of comradely dignitaries in nearly a decade.

...Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev led a covey of Politburo members on a four-hour tour of Automation 69, an international exhibit of new electronic equipment that is being held in Moscow's Sokolniki Park. In a jovial mood, Brezhnev singled out pretty girls for handshakes, embraced Communist exhibitors with Russian bear hugs, and chatted amiably at Western stands. Eying the new equipment at the French pavilion, Brezhnev asked, "Who is cheating whom-we you or you us?" As the French tittered nervously, he added: "That was only a joke, of course." At the West German exhibition, he and Politburo...
Easy Path to Power. Awadallah's militant pronouncements correspond to the cast of the new regime. The Cabinet is primarily civilian, drawn from the extreme leftist, Pan-Arab intelligentsia; eight of its 24 members belong to the Sudan's Communist Party, the most entrenched in the Arab world. The Cabinet in turn is responsible to a Revolutionary Council of a "Free Officers Front," headed by the man who engineered the coup: Major General (he promoted himself from colonel overnight) Gaafar Mohamed Nimeri, 40, a dour single-minded soldier who received training at the U.S. Army Command and General...
