...city's blacks and whites. By another yardstick, he was not the man for the job. He had been launched in politics in 1946 by Newark Democratic Boss Dennis Carey, who was in search of a congressional candidate.

...Once the Third World carefully watched the competition between India and China. India still has trouble aplenty, but economic planners no longer seriously consider the "Chinese model." Albania is China's only real friend, and Peking has but a few close acquaintances-Pakistan, Rumania, Syria, Nepal, Tanzania, Mali, Guinea. Peking has diplomatic relations with only 46 countries, and at present keeps ambassadors in 18 of them. During the Cultural Revolution, all but one of them were recalled to Peking...
