...unlikely ever again to be as frightful as it was under Stalin, if only because the Russian people are so much better informed now and probably would not stand for such mass terror. Then, the poet Anna Akhmatova wrote: "The stars of death stood over us./ And Russia, guiltless, be loved, writhed/ under the crunch of bloodstained boots,/ under the wheels of Black Marias." Life under Lenin's current successor has relaxed, grown somewhat less bleak, but there still seems no prospect that the mythology will be fulfilled: that, in the fullness of time, the state will begin...
Makarios was scarcely guiltless in the 1974 war. He had effectively blocked Turkish rights and prevented outsiders from seeking reasonable settlements. His arrogance of 1963 was replaced by the sorrow of 1974, and his new credo was, as he told TIME'S Dean Brelis at the time, "to live with the reality of what is and to protect that which we hold...
When Jimmy Carter began speaking out against Soviet violations of human rights, Moscow gruffly reminded him that many U.S. allies were hardly guiltless. At his press conference last week, Carter acknowledged that the Soviets had a point.

...More Joy. I like your idea that we shouldn't call them "orgies" any more but merely "sharing." After all, who's against sharing? I can believe it when you say that everyone comes back from an orgy-oops, I mean from a sharing -feeling "breathless, guiltless and ready to return to propriety." Maybe that's because "the main expedience in sharing is quietude, and the intention is sensual rather than sexual." I must say I don't really get this, probably because I am just a housewife, but it sounds uplifting and I guess that...
Andorra is a quiet, whitewashed country, small and seemingly guiltless. But Max Frisch's mythical principality (which bears a suspicious resemblance to the playwright's native Switzerland during the Second World War) is also bourgeois, complacent, chauvinistic, murderous. Sam Guckenheimer's production of Andorra tries to dramatize a Semite-as-scapegoat projection by a society of private interests united out of fear. It works, but blunts a few edges of Frisch's dialogue...
