...vanguard of the working class by championing the immediate and fundamental interests of all workers, farmers, Negro people, and all workers, farmers, Negro people, and all others who labor by hand and brain, against capitalist exploitation and oppression. We champion these immediate aims both because the gains made in these fights will improve the lot of the people affected and because they lay a basis for further successful struggles against exploitation, war, racism, and dehumanization. We disagree with other radical left organizations who believe the road to socialism is based on defeats or, at best, Pyrrhic victories. Such defeats...
...WASP. John Vliet Lindsay, 43, is a towering (6 ft. 3 in.), Yale-educated Congressman from the city's well-heeled 17th District, who charged into the race five months ago as an authentic Manhattan maverick. He got the G.O.P. nomination and that of New York's labor-oriented Liberal Party, and disassociated himself from all the big-league Republicans-Dick Nixon, Nelson Rocke feller, Dwight Eisenhower-who might have campaigned for him in New York. As his running mates, Lindsay picked an Irish Catholic, University Professor Timothy W. Costello who is chairman of the Liberal Party...

He insists that Rhodesia's whites guarantee "unimpeded progress" toward majority rule by the blacks, who outnumber them 18 to 1, and that approval of independence be demonstrated...

Argentina's working class is now well organized, and looking for leadership among half a dozen tough young politicians and labor leaders. To many of these leaders, the exiled septuagenarian is becoming an anachronism; some Peronistas pay him lip service but little else and unflatteringly call him "Casanova...
...Loyalty Day" by playing an emotional tape-recorded message from el líder. Once in Buenos Aires she could see for herself the signs of Peronista change. There were almost no Loyalty Day posters. Three full days elapsed before the top Peronista politicians and labor leaders got around to calling on her. What had not changed were the hatreds engendered by the mere mention of Perón's name. For three nights, riots between Peronistas and anti-Peronistas erupted outside Isabel's hotel...
