...April 11, three bullets slammed into Rudi ("The Red") Dutschke, 28, West Germany's firebrand New Left student ideologist. Two of the slugs lodged in his head, one in his shoulder. Few expected him to live; indeed, his life hung in the balance for days. Now, after two delicate brain operations, Rudi is out of danger and recuperating "somewhere in Italy," according to an illustrated spread in West Germany's Stern magazine. Stern's report shows that Rudi has progressed to the point where he can knock out a few croquet games each day, bat a pingpong...
...pity the poor Socialists. They always seem to get into trouble when they move out of the old ideologist neighborhood and associate with Center parties. Even more than Willy Brandt's Socialists in West Germany's recent state elections, Pietro Nenni's Socialist Party suffered a serious setback in the Italian elections...
...continuing purges, which Gomulka has unsuccessfully tried to moderate, indicate that his troubles are far from over. Last week two of his own supporters on the ruling twelve-man Politburo, Cyrankiewicz and Party Ideologist Zenon Kliszko, came out in favor of the purges.

The Czechoslovaks were furious...
This collegial leadership is dominated by a troika made up of Premier Kosygin, Party General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, 60, and President Nikolai Podgorny, 64, the chief of state. A fourth man also regularly joins the decision-making executive committee of the eleven-man Politburo: Party Ideologist Mikhail Suslov, 65, whose position seems to have stayed almost the same through several changes in leadership. Of the top four, none was old enough to have had a major role in the revolution, and all but Suslov were trained as technocrats: Kosygin was a textile engineer and factory manager, Brezhnev a surveyor...
