...long have our people and Congress ignored the obvious. You don't need to be paranoid, believing there is a Communist under every bed, to see the glaring examples of Soviet deceit. It amazes me to see concessions still being given to the Soviets in SALT...
...reasons behind Shevchenko's action appeared murky at first. Regarded by his U.N. colleagues as an arrogant, hardline Communist apparatchik, Shevchenko clearly had not been moved by a sudden, overwhelming yearning for freedom. Moreover, the move seemingly cut short a brilliant career. First posted to the U.N. in 1963 as a counselor in the Soviet Mission, Shevchenko served in New York for seven years. The Ukrainian-born diplomat then returned to Moscow as an adviser to Foreign Minister Gromyko and reached ambassadorial rank at the unusually early age of 40. In 1973 he was sent back...
...most noteworthy changes in Giscard's new government involved structure rather than personalities. The powerful Finance Ministry, long criticized as a state within a state, was divided into two parts -budget and economy-just as the Socialists and Communists had advocated. Two moves reinforced Giscard's pledges of social reform. One was the creation of a large Ministry of Environment and Standard of Living. The other was the elevation of Health Minister Veil from 14th- to third-ranking member of the Cabinet, behind Barre and Peyrefitte. In all, Giscard's promised "opening" to the left looked...
...Done? of the April 11 speech by Giorgio Napolitano. The gratuitous remark that from some points of view, the terrorists of the Brigate Rosse (Moro's kidnappers) are characterized as freedom fighters ignores the unanimous condemnation of such acts by the Italian democratic left. The implication that the Italian Communist Party may actually be sympathetic to such acts of violence is not only uninformed but offensive; that the Communists welcome violence as an occasion for insincere disclaimers to assuage the fears of an unconvinced populace is absurd...
...author superficially assumes that Giorgio Napolitano, being a Communist, must necessarily offer a simplistic account of "the crisis of capitalism and the inevitability of the demise of an inherently exploitative system." In fact, the title of the talk is "The PCI and the Crisis of Italy's Political Economy." Emmerich's parochialism is evident in his assumption that any attempt to apply "Communist dogma" to a "real social situation" will be of merely quaint interest. If he can only see foreign class conflict and byzantine political plots in the current crisis in Italy, then perhaps Emmerich would be better...
