...revolutionary left in Portugal has been seriously ailing ever since the collapse of an abortive coupled by radical paratroop units in November. Last week what one Lisbon daily called the "death certificate" of the left was signed-in the form of a 70-page government report that blamed the botched uprising on a wide array of leftists in the military, the labor movement, the Communist Party, the press and the now defunct COPCON security forces.

In London, a trendy weekly social and entertainment guide called Time Out named three new CIA employees in the U.S. embassy (in 1975 Time Out printed the names of 62 CIA people with a chart...
Call to Surrender. Lisbon severed diplomatic relations with Jakarta following last week's invasion. It also called upon the United Nations to "protect the territorial integrity" of East Timor. From Jakarta, Indonesia's Foreign Minister Adam Malik coolly dismissed the Portuguese protest, insisting that Indonesian troops had landed in Dili "at the request of the people of East Timor...
