...extreme leftist, Pan-Arab intelligentsia; eight of its 24 members belong to the Sudan's Communist Party, the most entrenched in the Arab world. The Cabinet in turn is responsible to a Revolutionary Council of a "Free Officers Front," headed by the man who engineered the coup: Major General (he promoted himself from colonel overnight) Gaafar Mohamed Nimeri, 40, a dour single-minded soldier who received training at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Nimeri had earned his reputation as a daring soldier fighting the black guerrillas to the south. When other senior...
...from stilling the demonstrations, the government's response only roused Argentine workers to sympathy for the students. The workers had their own grievances: the regime had frozen wages for more than two years, while the cost of living has risen more than 20%. When the unions declared a general strike last week, the regime responded with more repression.

...flew in troops and additional ammunition, while jets fired off warning bursts of machine-gun fire overhead. Finally, the army ordered soldiers to shoot anyone appearing on the streets without permission during a dusk-to-dawn curfew.

Senator Edward Kennedy has proposed a slightly different solution: both Chinas to be seated in the General Assembly, leaving to future discussion the allocation or abolition of the Security Council seat held by Nationalist China since 1945. The trouble with a two-China solution is, of course, that both Peking and Taipei bitterly denounce even the slightest suggestion of it. To skirt the problem, James Thomson has evolved a solution that he describes as "a step into ambiguity." If successful, it would temporarily shelve the Taiwan issue in its present form. Thomson advocates a tacit mutual acknowledgment of Peking...
Polite Rebuff. While several major denominations have acknowledged the injustices suffered by the American Negro and have stepped up their contributions to black causes, they have not besieged Forman personally with offerings of cash. The United Presbyterian Church invited him to address its General Assembly last month, but pointedly took issue with his manifesto's threat of violence to obtain compensation from the churches. Even before the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church rejected the demands, Presiding Bishop John E. Hines called Forman's manifesto "calculatedly revolutionary, Marxist, inflammatory, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian." The Forman plan, added...
