...national borders have bred such strife, what is the likelihood of erecting, let alone maintaining, a much larger tent? The idea might well remain a mirage, and Kabila may not be up to the challenge. But if anyone is ready, it is Uganda's Museveni, an ex-Marxist who has spearheaded one of the most remarkable economic and social comebacks in the world. Not only has Museveni reinvigorated a country that was once a synonym for horror, but he is also exerting profound influence across the breadth of sub-Saharan Africa. Old friends, proteges and disciples have either gained power...
...decaying profit system. It enforces racist attacks on welfare, immigrants, unions and affirmative action--attacks which feed rising Klan terror. The fascist nightriders must be stopped and what are necessary to do it are mass mobilizations of all the Klan's intended victims. The Spartacus Youth Club, a revolutionary Marxist youth organization, has initiated a united-front speakout around the slogan "Drop All Charges Against the Chicago Anti-Klan Three" for April 24, at 12 noon, outside the Science Center. The speak-out has been endorsed by the Black Students Association, the Harvard College Democrats and professors Henry Louis Gates...

(It will be interesting to see whether leftist or rightist scholars lambaste his book more angrily.) After Lenin's Bolsheviks seized power in October 1917, four years of floundering civil war began, with folly in command of both the Red and White armies. Both used summary executions of soldiers and peasants to stop desertions and provision armies, and each permitted bloody pogroms against Jews as recreation for troops. Figes tells the story well, in a very long volume that never becomes unwieldy...
Deng Xiaoping was a legendary man of transcendent genius whose accomplishments far outweighed his mistakes. Under his leadership, the Chinese people embarked on a gigantic modernization program and miraculously increased their productivity. Deng was an unsung hero in the battle to bury world communism. He challenged Marxist orthodoxy head on. His bold reforms triggered a chain reaction all across the communist world and set the stage for the decommunization of the Soviet bloc. JOHNNY Z.Y.
