Civil war in Angola erupted against last fall after the breakdown of the coalition government's elections. The October, 1975 polling has little in common with the Chilean fiasco, where a socialist regime attempted to assume power through the ballot box, leaving intact the fascist network of its predecessors. Rather in Angola the population had already fought an arduous 14 year war against the Portuguese minority regime for the very sake of establishing a socialist state under majority rule. During the transitional period last year, the Portuguese Armed Forces Movement conducted and published monthly polls on the relative popularity...
...material would be equally spiritless. The man who would have sold the world for rock stardom five years ago is now both morally outraged and bored by his medium. "Rock'n'roll has been bringing me down lately. It's in great danger of becoming immobile, sterile, fascist...." Bowie told Stone while disclosing mis plans to leave rock for films. Adding to our apprehensions, it was revealed that Bowie, with what one assumed to be an uninspired facility, had been turning out product faster than you can say Elton John. "Another song, that's the last thing I need...
...actions display an attitude closer to contempt. This past fall, for instance, several prominent members of the PC were denied entry into the U.S. under an archaic, seldom-used anti-Communist statute.

...that was wrong with America in three consecutive celebrations of his defeat: You Can't Take It With You, Mr. Smith and Meet John Doe. In the first, he was an obese and lost soul, a rotten but salvagable capitalist. By the last, he had become a fascist threat, buying his own police state. If it hadn't been for the war, God knows what he would have done, but Capra was drafted, and in the famous Why We Fight series, foreign villains replaced Arnold and the threat from within disappeared but quick. The Why We Fight films are enormously...
...Cockburn's pet peeves. He may have started by seriously criticizing these men--and he still does--but now, in the best gonzo tradition, they have gotten to him. He is positively obsessed with them, and also with Jerry Brown (whom he feels represents a new fascist politics of scarcity), and Jimmy Carter (totally bogus), and C.L. Sulzberger, the major foreign policy voice for Cockburn's "Center Right Coalition," an auspicious group including the likes of Daniel P. Moynihan, Marty Peretz, and half the Harvard faculty...
