...Jerrold Schecter filed on the eve of the conference: "The issue is no longer unity. It is finding the lowest common denominator on which there can be limited agreement in the world Communist movement. Observers in Moscow believe that the meeting, and how it is carried off, holds the key to the success or failure of the current Kremlin leadership. Faced with a border war with China, the Soviet Union today must defend its national interests at the same time that it tries to justify them under the banner of 'proletarian internationalism.' In Eastern Europe, the invasion of Czechoslovakia...

In the 1840s, says Jane Jacobs, Manchester looked like a model of progress and modernity. It had become a rich, gigantic industrial machine for cranking out textiles. By contrast, Birmingham then seemed outmoded. It was "a muddle of oddments," where myriad small firms busily made saddles, harnesses, tools, buttons, guns...
