...revolt, Communist Boss Walter Ulbricht now has 30,000 highly trained riot police, more than 80,000 People's Police, and a People's Army of 110,000 equipped with tanks and artillery. Backing up these regulars are the 300,000 members of factory "fighting groups"-hard-core Communists equipped with infantry weapons and trained specifically to aid regular forces in case of an uprising. Should all these home-grown forces fail or defect, as was the case in Hungary, there remains the formidable Russian army in East Germany. 350,000 to 400,000 strong. Last week these...

Already a K.L.F.A. plot to kill Ronald Ngala, moderate leader of a prominent African political party, has been unearthed and nipped in the bud. By all reports, the new movement hoped to recruit Jomo ("Burning...
...time, Americans were just Republicans, Democrats, Elks or Masons. Now they back ACTION (American Council to Improve Our Neighborhoods) and CARE (Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere) and SHARE (Share Happily and Reap Endlessly) and TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). Unionists support COPE (Committee on Political Education). Negroes support CORE (Congress of Racial Equality). In Little Rock, moderates stayed on the school board through STOP (Stop This Outrageous Purge). In New Orleans, they faced up to integration with SOS (Save Our Schools). In Atlanta this fall, moderates will do likewise through HOPE (Help Our Public Education) and OASIS (Organizations Assisting Schools...
