"We trapped them on May 1, we wanted to trap them again on July 1-and to a degree we succeeded." Whose Right? Nikita was obviously intent on belaboring the West. But he acted like a man who wished he had a better club. When someone asked him about Cuba, he seized on the question with obvious relief.

Come spring, the French fear, the fellaghas will be moving across the border with the express intent of disrupting the elections. Last week the F.L.N. announced that it would begin accepting "foreign volunteers." The Red Chinese have a standing offer to supply the Algerian rebels with "technicians" and money, but in actuality, it is unlikely that the F.L.N. expects to accept more than token contributions.
