Instead, during the 15 years of our own national existence, we in Tanzania have witnessed American military power being used in an attempt to crush the national liberation struggles of Viet Nam and Cambodia. In some Latin American countries we have seen American economic power being used to frustrate the democratic will of the people about their own form of government. We have felt the effects of America's direct and indirect, but very powerful, support for the racist and colonialist forces of southern Africa.

...kitchen workers' contract will expire on June 30, and Harvard will soon force many workers to survive on part-time wages over the summer. Thus, Harvard's attack on Gallagher, Balsam and Schaffer makes their strategy clear: crush all signs of militancy before the further aggravations of an insulting contract offer and a drastic reduction in income blow them into strike proportions, while purging the local of its leadership before contract negotations begin.

But it seemed doubtful whether the government would be any more successful in putting down the rebellion this time...
...story, executed in comic opera style, of the downfall of the dictator of an imaginary Caribbean nation around the time of the First World War. An enlightened despot who prefers vacationing in Paris to tyrannizing his country, the unnamed Head of State returns to suppress revolts by trusted generals, crush his civilian opposition, and reflect the tedium...
