...Soviet weapons earmarked for their armies are to be passed along to the fedayeen. When the Palestine Liberation Organization publicly complained that "the Soviet Union persists in ignoring the rights of the Palestinians," Moscow's Sovietskaya Rossiya hauled out one of its strongest epithets, labeling them Trotskyites. For good measure, it added that their aim of "the liquidation of Israel is not realistic...
When solicitous old friends asked Manuel Cortés Quero, 63, how he was feeling, he replied: "These shoes are killing me." With good reason. For the past 30 years Cortés has been shoeless, padding around in carpet slippers in an upstairs room of his house in Mijas, above the seaport of Málaga.

Open Roads. As an avowed believer in "dialogue, with a little good will," Caldera immediately set out to make peace with Venezuela's guerrillas, who have waged an intermittent, often deadly terror campaign against the Caracas government since 1962.

...week's end Cornell was in a state of euphoric exhaustion. Despite their misgivings, most professors seemed satisfied that Cornell had averted bloodshed. Many students envisioned a new era of racial good feeling. Robert W. Purcell, chairman of the board of trustees, said the "silent center" had spoken, and he insisted that "Cornell has come through without danger and strengthened." Yet disturbing questions remain: If radical student power dominates a university, what happens to professors who disagree with it? More broadly, if a university is threatened with disorder, how far can it compromise before it loses all integrity...
