Radiant Vision. Hess's life is indeed different, but his extremist way of thinking has not changed. He has no use for either of the major political parties, for it has been revealed to him that liberals as well as conservatives believe in "the concentration of power in the fewest practical hands." He was once one of American business's staunchest supporters; now, in a paraphrase of Proudhon, he writes. "Corporate capitalism is an act of theft" because "a very few live very high off the work, invention and creativity of very many others." Hess does...
...Protestant extremist group, the Young Militants-an obscure offshoot of larger paramilitary groups-claimed responsibility for the Strand bar blast. The carnage took Ulster past another grisly milestone: 1,206 dead, including 866 civilians, since 1968, when Catholics began demonstrating for equal rights.

Chance for Peace. It could probably have been predicted that they would take this line - but that is pre cisely the point.

Inevitably they are bound together by a mutual abhorrence of war. The most effective speakers are people who have the great est reason to be bitter: the wives and parents...
...Arabs as well as Israel-a difficult equation-then peace will extend to the whole region. We ask you only to treat the Arabs as friends and put aside your big-stick policy. We are in contact with all parties, including the Palestinians. Our position is not rigid or extremist. We are not against moderation. We encouraged the efforts of Dr. Kissinger from the beginning, though it would have been possible for us to create problems. We tried to behave in the most responsible manner. We are a country that has had the experience of war. We lost a tenth...
