...Communist participation in the government. One such politician, Francesco DeMartino, the highly-respected leader of the Socialist Party and until now a member of the pro-Western left, was originally scheduled to visit Washington with a group of Italian parliamentarians. However, when it was discovered that DeMartino intended to express his opinion to Secretary Kissinger in favor of PC cooperation in the government, he was politely told by CIA agents that his presence in the U.S. was unnecessary. The Secretary was not going to be told what he didn't want to hear...
...have surpassed Hirsch's break-even target of 25 pages, and he says that New Times will be in the black by this year's fourth quarter. Still, the magazine has already used up its initial $1.7 million nest egg from such blue-chip investors as American Express and Chase Manhattan, and has gone through a $1.1 million refinancing...

Teng's momentary lapse into a counter-revolutionary...
...film by Steve Segall called "Red Ball Express" gets all caught up in trains. It marvelously anticipates what the spectator's mind expects to follow each mobile image. Railroad tracks cross and intertwine, creating squares and patterns and coils; wheels roll and tumble; all to the tune of Kentucky bluegrass fiddling. Another short, by Canadian Paul Driessen, features little and not-so-little green monsters, fishes, and manipulative humans--the creatures swallow each other in an endless progression of gulps and burps. Perhaps Driessen suffers from an underlying paranoia--there's always something bigger out there waiting, waiting...
