...distaste for the Union of the Left, the Socialist-Communist alliance that almost won the 1974 presidential election, only to collapse just before the parliamentary vote of 1978. Rocard is far more comfortable with West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's brand of social democracy than with the quasi-Marxist yearnings of his own party's left wing. Mitterrand's intentions are a mystery. Most likely, he will try to remain aloof, hoping that a divided party will turn to him as a unifier at its January congress. Giscard professes to be unfazed by Rocard's candidacy...
...Lippmann's Jewish heritage barred his entrance to most college groups and organizations. The Crimson blackballed him. But Lippmann gained recognition as one of the keenest minds of his class. To strengthen his grasp of the moral issues socialism involved, he pored through volumes of Fabian society tracts and Marxist literature. He gained acceptance to the narrow circle of Harvard's academic elite: the favorite student of George Santayana, he was also on intimate terms with William James...
...Labor Party has long lived with its left wing in Parliament; 70 of its 268 M.P.s are members of the so-called Tribune Group, named for a leftist newspaper.

Letelier, the Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. under Marxist president Salvador Allende, was assassinated in Washington, D.C., in 1976, allegedly by agents of the Chilean military junta which overthrew Allende three years earlier. Chile has refused to extradite three military officials accused of plotting the killing...
...raid sirens wailed, thousands of Teh-ranis rushed to their rooftops shouting "God is great." Enthusiastic civilians almost shot down an Iranian F-4 trying to land at Mehrabad: they thought it was an Iraqi plane. Opposition parties like the left-wing Socialist People's Mujahidin and the Marxist People's Fedayan were captured by the patriotic fever and backed the war effort of President Abolhassan Banisadr's government. Even Reza Pahlavi, 19, the Shah's oldest son, who is studying at the American University in Cairo, volunteered his services from abroad as a fighter pilot...
