...dissident newsletter, April Fifth Forum, named for a 1976 antigovernment demonstration. Though Chief Editor Xu scrupulously avoided outright criticism of China's leaders and shunned the label of dissident, he has been outspoken in demanding more freedom of expression. Last year he noted that "if only views that echo the leadership are allowed, there is no way to speak of real freedom of speech." Though April Fifth Forum had a circulation of only 1,000 before publication was suspended early last year, it was, according to one Western diplomat, "a twinkle in a vast void." Thus the arrests...
...careful. Scrupulously well-executed: you can see the concentration on their faces, in their wide alert eves, in their lips that move softly as they count the beats. The tinny sound of the piano and the gently pitter-pat of shoes upon the set's wooden-board floor echo through the house. Occasionally, one of the more confident dancers lets out a strained cheer or cutious exclamation.

...Indonesian island of Sumatra. Here too Soviet naval activity has been on the rise, in both obvious and not-so-obvious ways. Soviet destroyers, cruisers and diesel-powered, torpedo-firing Foxtrot submarines have been passing through the strait at the rate of about six a month, while nuclear-powered Echo-class subs, armed with antiship cruise missiles, prowl the South China Sea. Malacca is so shallow that subs must go through with at least their conning towers awash and therefore tend to make the passage at night. But the Indonesian navy believes fully submerged Soviet subs have been testing...
