...Pakistan government, which nonetheless prepared to accept the offers of American help with something less than full enthusiasm. A grim editorial in the Pakistan Times charged the U.S. with having adopted a "hostile tone" toward Islamabad and being blind to "the danger posed to Pakistan" by the original Marxist coup in Afghanistan in 1978. It was, said the editorial, "amazing that the event was lost on Washington and London." But in a certain teeth-gritting spirit, the editorial concluded: "Pakistan must accept the offer of military aid from the United States...
...became Premier. The combatants in the daily armed street battles are from both extremes. On one side are rightist gangs like the "Gray Wolves," often associated with the National Action Party, an ultraconservative group. On the other are the more numerous leftist, often campus-based, organizations such as the Marxist-Leninist Armed Propaganda Squad and the Turkish Workers and Peasants Liberation Army. There have also been signs, some of them ominous, of a possible fundamentalist Muslim revival. In November, for example, Muslim gangs demonstrated against Americans in Izmir and other cities after false radio reports that the U.S. had been...

This well documented and liberal success follows failure follows...
...calls them. The New Left is not downgrading Marxism, he says, but instead reinvigorating it in new forms, a confusing idea in light of his early insistence that the New Left developed solely on its own pragmatic base and owed little or nothing to Marx. To the non-Marxist unfamiliar with the "humanist" ideas of Marxism, this "reinvigoration" of Marxist ideals does not make sense. To the Marxist, it may even appear to be an insult. Watered-down Marxism does not go over big in any strata of society; this apparent attempt by Lader to reconcile the far-flung members...
