Despite Peking's eagerness to see India take a shellacking, the war hardly fits China's devoutly held Leninist belief in an inevitable clash between Com munism and the "capitalist-imperialist" West. Here were two former colonial states, both Asian and both underdeveloped, at each other's throats. Yet Communist China tirelessly reiterates that it is precisely such nations-the "have nots" of Asia, Africa and Latin America-that must eventually encircle the West and destroy it in a worldwide holocaust of "people's wars." Time and again, Peking has shown its readiness to provoke such...
...studying Chinese. Then he went to Peking, where he enrolled at the Chinese Peoples University, attended classes 18 hours a week and eventually was allowed to enter law school in September 1956. During his first year of law courses, White studied Hegel, Marx and Engels, later boned up on Leninist ideology, but was allowed to skip studies on Mao Tse-tung.

During the Leninist purges following the October Revolution, Gorky used his special relationship with Lenin to save many writers' lives. Finally breaking with the Bolsheviks, he exiled himself in Sorrento. There, in a drafty villa with a fine view of Vesuvius, he swilled coffee-and-raw-eggs and completed his best work...
...rival factions in Kenya's one-party government, President Jomo Kenyatta for months let pro-Communist Vice President Oginga Odinga have his way more often than seemed wise. For one thing, Moscow had financed the Lumumba Institute seven miles outside Nairobi, providing two Russian instructors in the Leninist art of political action. Then Odinga negotiated a deal for a shipload of Soviet arms for Kenya, which the Russians seemed only too eager to provide absolutely free of charge. Odinga meanwhile hustled around making anti-Western speeches, and verbally sniping at the more moderate members of Kenyatta's Cabinet...
