...what do you think about? It doesn't take much insight to guess that uppermost in your mind, this last year or two, has loomed the inescapable fact that you are destined-some would say doomed-to be a king. From the dour orthodoxy of a Scottish public school you have been launched into a university society where political thought is in turmoil, where the most radical social theories from revolutionary socialism to out-and-out anarchy are bandied about like cocktail-party small talk. Your position prevents you from taking an open part in these discussions...

...democracy, abrogation of the Anglo-Irish free-trade treaty, and a neutralist foreign policy. Responding to the challenge, the ruling Fianna Fail (Soldiers of Destiny) Party, under Premier John (Jack) Lynch, campaigned against Labor's "alien ideology," and against O'Brien himself. Taking account of the fact that O'Brien has been divorced, they pinned on him the ironic label of "the new pope of Irish morality...

...seems to be moving in these directions. Last week President Nixon decided to abolish the often criticized principle of "additionality," which, since 1965, has forced Latin Americans to buy American goods with U.S. aid money. Last year, 92% of the $336 million aid package to Latin America was, in fact, spent in the U.S., compared with only 41% in 1960. Additionality was originally introduced to help improve the U.S. balance of payments, but has brought the U.S. a mere $35 million in annual savings. Since that amount is but a drop in the $4 billion annual U.S. sales to Latin...

Perhaps most serious of all is the fact that communications between Djakarta and the outer islands of the huge archipelago barely exist. "At the moment," says Sadli, "Indonesia is not an integrated economic entity. There are many economies, living side by side, using the same currency."

Infiltration and Suspension. The fact that S.D.S. lacks a clearly defined purpose is the chief cause of its confusion, but in the eyes of its members, who have lately begun to feel martyred and somewhat paranoic, the worst of it all is the heavy pressure now being applied against the organization. Police and FBI informants have infiltrated many campus chapters. S.D.S. militants at Columbia and Dartmouth have been jailed; narcotics and bomb-plot charges have been brought against members in New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania. In recent months, six of S.D.S.'s twelve regional offices have been vandalized...
