...have taken pride in providing shelter for those of political passion from other lands. Indeed, it might be easier to make a list of 20th century revolutionaries who never lived in Paris than of those who did. China's Chou En-lai came in 1920, some 70 years after Karl Marx left Paris for London and eight years after a young Russian revolutionary named Vladimir Ilyich Lenin moved from Paris to Poland. While working at the Renault auto plant, Chou met a compatriot, Deng Xiaoping, China's present ruler, and together they founded a branch of the Chinese Communist youth...
...part, Robertson was sounding more parochial than ever. His speech was directed almost exclusively at the converted, summoning them to war against the "small elite of lawyers, judges and educators" who have "taken the Holy Bible from our young and replaced it with the thoughts of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and John Dewey."

The unidentified experienced controller covering Flight 498 had only ten radar transponder blips to track on his screen. "It was busy, but we weren't to the point of saturation," said Air Controller Karl Grundmann, another of the men on duty. Flight 498's controller told the pilot to descend from 7,000 ft. to 6,000. At 11:53, he issued a warning to the Aeromexico jet: "Traffic 10 o'clock (slightly to the airliner's left), one mile northbound, altitude unknown." Re- sponded 498: "Roger...
...Gazeta by Vladimir Tsvetov, a Soviet television commentator and former Tokyo correspondent. Tsvetov criticized the Soviet media's coverage of capitalist countries, which are almost always depicted as hotbeds of strikes, protests, poverty and police violence, as if those countries were on the verge of the proletarian revolutions that Karl Marx predicted 136 years ago. Privately, some Soviet officials are critical of -- and even embarrassed by -- that kind of coverage, and would like to see more discussion of the positive aspects of the capitalist world, especially advances in science and technology. Other officials are concerned that the Soviet public...
