...rising influence, nobody doubted that the Chinese would respond. Then the Premier was gunned down on the steps of a Bujumbura hospital. But the man who was arrested was a local African employed as a stenotypist in the U.S. embassy. Immediately, the noisy cry echoed through Africa: "Imperialist plot...
...course, is not really trying to do exactly that. It is trying to maintain order-not necessarily its own order-in vast areas of the globe. In this sense it faces an infinitely harder task than any imperial power because it cannot, and does not want to, employ imperialist weapons. The military reach of the U.S. across the world is awesome -neither capital nor continent, neither jungle nor village, and no quadrant of the sky is beyond the range of its missiles or its reconnaissance planes.

He denounced the U.S. and Belgium for "intervention" in the Congo, promised Soviet aid in the event of "imperialist aggression" against North Viet Nam and Cuba. If the Western allies pressed ahead with MLF, he warned, the Warsaw Pact nations would be forced to "consult" on countermeasures. He gave the United Nations a passing plug as a valuable "international forum," but failed to mention whether the Kremlin intended to pay its U. N. bills...
