...outlet for radical social thinking from Third World theologians. After Peru's Father Gustavo Gutiérrez produced his influential A Theology of Liberation in 1971, Orbis issued the English-language edition. Gutiérrez's most recent essay for Orbis blesses the class struggle and condemns "imperialist" corporations and "reformist" strategies of social change that forestall the revolution...
...bomb-pocked G.D.R. in 1948 with his mother Alma, half brother Stefan and stepfather Bodo Uhse, a highly acclaimed Socialist writer, Agee begins to observe with a foreigner's freshness. He remembers the early Iron Curtain: a chicken-wire fence in an old couple's garden, preventing imperialist rabbits of the British Zone from devouring the Voik's lettuce.

As decolonialization, like colonialism before it, fades in Third World memories, economic development may gradually replace armed struggle as the order of the day. Even Fidel Castro last year warned his proteges, the Sandinistas of Nicaragua, to beware of Cuba's mistake of mortgaging the country's economy to the U.S.S.R. in exchange for an ideological blessing, military aid and political support...
