...with our approval on our own terms, because they violate our feeling that anything worthy need not be accomplished through violence and cruelty. On their own terms they continue to be most of what we supported them for--staunch nationalists, socialists, remakers of their own society. It is a conflict that I am not ready to resolve. Although The Crimson has yet to commit itself, I continue to support the Khmer Rouge in its principles and goals but I have to admit that I deplore the way they are going about...
Essential Step. Despite all the agony the agreement has caused, it is still only an interim settlement, and the easiest part to solve of the many-sided Arab-Israeli conflict. There is much less room for give on the Golan Heights, which are disputed by both Israel and Syria; both countries appear intractable on the issues.

The taped sounds weave in and out of the performance, giving it an almost antiphonal quality. The only real clash comes when the taped sounds are electronically altered, creating a sense of war between the media...
...Biafran civil war. The least sign of regional or tribal chauvinism on Mohammed's part might well lead to countercoup or renewed civil war. Foreign diplomats in Nigeria also fear that Mohammed's Moslem background might lead to a less moderate policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. Under Gowon's leadership, Nigeria, an OPEC member and in recent months the largest exporter of crude oil to the U.S., did not participate in the Arab boycott against Israel's allies after the 1973 Middle East...
