Ulbricht favored similarly harsh measures whenever he felt that orthodox Communist regimes elsewhere in Eastern Europe might permit greater internal freedoms. He championed Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956 and was the first to denounce the liberal Communist regime of Alexander Dubcek in Czechoslovakia in 1968, earning the hatred of Hungarians and Czechs-but reinforcing his support from Moscow...
...musical puppet? Didn't think so. And critics have taken a dim view of his $10 three-record live album )little of which I've heard, but I can't say much for the prospect of 90 odd minutes of bad gospel rock.) Well, the judgment seems a little harsh now, and I'm not trying to kick him while he's down. It's just that his kind of music came, but, more importantly, it went. I know that, why doesn't he?

He will need to muster all the support he can to solve Afghanistan's many problems, which include a three-year drought that has claimed more than 20,000 lives. The country is noted for its harsh landscape (barren deserts interspersed with rugged mountains), wretched poverty (per capita annual income is $88), and widespread disease (half of all children die before the age of five). Kabul is also something of a hash haven for hippies from the U.S. and Europe. Narcotics are sold openly...

Phase IV could well be the Administration's last, best chance to restore public confidence in its ability to foster prosperity without inflation...
...might deal their identity a severe blow, both would have to acknowledge Bond as their spiritual father. They are less likely ever to bump into him, however, than into each other, for in their latest appearances they follow more or less the same route to Africa. There the harsh cynicism that was ground into them by the city streets suddenly evaporates. By returning to their roots, their pride is rekindled, their racial dignity renewed-and the scriptwriters have a fresh location and a little novelty to lard onto their stale adventures...
