...Cheaper. When he was inaugurated Premier last September, he discovered his principal aim of land reform was already an accomplished fact; Algerian peasants had spontaneously taken over the rich lands vacated by the French settlers.

Western newsmen once glimpsed Teng Hsiao-ping, the leader of Peking's group, serenely strolling through the villa's gardens. The only sign of life behind the massive, cream-colored walls of Dom Priemov were the boots of a Soviet soldier, which protruded beneath the spiked iron gates when he opened a peephole to scrutinize an arriving automobile.
