...Marxist ideology is widely advertised as the root cause of the current struggle between Russia and Red China. But beneath all the high-flown jargon lies a more concrete basis for conflict. It is the 4,000-mile border the two nations share...
Despite her high party posts, it is doubtful that Elizabeth Gurley Flynn had much influence on policy, for she was an agitator and orator rather than a Marxist dialectician or thinker. She wrote a chattily reminiscent column in the Daily Worker called "The Life of the Party," and always proved able to follow obediently every twist and turn of the party line.

Such talk has a strong appeal for the underprivileged-and also for Latin America's deeply religious women, rich or poor. In Chile, it was the women who gave Frei his large majority.

...guerrilla leader, he dominated a sere swatch of the Sahara and the rugged Aurès Mountains of northeastern Algeria. After independence, Chaabani joined Premier Ahmed ben Bella's Politburo and the army's general staff, but quickly grew restive under Ben Bella's heavy-handed Marxist dictatorship. Last June that uneasiness boiled over into open rebellion, and Chaabani took to the hills with a hard core of his veteran troops...
