...mission since he went on the road for God 39 years ago: his first evangelistic tour of the Soviet Union, a country zealously committed to the extirpation of all belief. Commented Graham en route to Leningrad: "I look on it as remarkable that I am here at all, preaching." Lenin would no doubt have agreed...
Lech Walesa was back in the spotlight last week, holding aloft a bouquet of flowers and basking in the cheers of 1,500 supporters gathered near the Lenin Shipyard in the Baltic port of Gdansk. Four years ago, the outspoken electrician had scaled the shipyard gates and assumed the leadership of a strike that gave birth to Solidarity, the Communist bloc's first independent trade union.

...under constant guard with his wife and stepmother in a five-room house on the grounds of an abandoned infantry academy. Deng got a job fitting parts together at a nearby tractor factory.

There were no marchers from any of the other 29 countries participating...
...expression of our political beliefs. The passion for directness was a kind of style. We dressed in our politics, and we wanted all who met us to confront them. "Some people talk about the weather," my favorite poster at the time announced, and below silhouettes of Marx, Engels and Lenin, proudly proclaimed: "Not us." We therefore did little to create a convincing program, and we left to the liberal organizers of the mass demonstrations the tedious labor of welding alliances. We attended those demonstrations only under the condition that we could hitch on a Bobby Seale Brigade and spar with...
