...foreign policy and endorse Haig's bid to establish himself as America's foreign policy architect. The man's experience and practical knowledge of diplomacy renders him exceedingly well-qualified to take charge of conducting foreign policy. It is a mistake to equate Haig with some of the extremist attitudes this administration has voiced. To the contrary, Haig has been a moderating influence on the administration's rigid ideologues. It was Haig who convinced Reagan to attend the North-South summit held recently, demonstrating U.S. acknowledgement of the concerns of underdeveloped states; Haig who played a useful role in moderating...
Although the movement that feeds this violence is still minuscule, membership in groups with a distinct neo-Nazi ideology jumped from 1,400 to 1,800 in the past year, according to federal officials. Paradoxically, the increase is occurring at a time when political support for right-wing extremist groups has plummeted.

Whites do not openly make bigoted remarks. The literature of the ruling Nationalist Party contains no derogatory references to Blacks. But little things slip out. An English-speaking cab driver, who assured his passenger that he supported the reform-minded Progressive Federal Party, finished a lengthy discourse on poor Afrikaners (of predominantly Dutch stock, Afrikaners make up 65 per cent of the white population) by saying, "Why, some of these...
PASOK has been able to cash in on Greece's social and economic troubles. The country's current rulers look weak, in part because extremist violence has climbed sharply in recent months, with a heretofore unheard-of wave of politically inspired department-store firebombings and arsonist attacks...
