...rival and more recent claim has been instituted by Madagascar, 260 miles to the west. Madagascar's President Didier Ratsiraka last month announced that his Marxist republic is the rightful owner not only of Tromelin but of three other small French islands: Europa, Juan de Nova and Glorieuses. It is said that Ratsiraka wants Tromelin in order to establish a Soviet base there. That seems unlikely: because of the coral reefs, large ships could never venture inshore, and Tromelin is so small that a large airplane would run out of island before it could brake to a stop...
...political policy remains to see Israel destroyed. " So declared one of the most intransigent of Palestinian leaders, Dr. George Habash, in an interview last week with TIME Correspondent Dean Brelis. Habash is head of the Marxist, pro-Moscow Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine; it is the second largest commando group (after Yasser Arafat's Al-Fatah) and has been responsible for some of the most notorious Palestinian terrorist acts. The P.F.L.P. leader talked with Brelis in a well-guarded room at Tripoli's Beach Hotel shortly before the anti-Sadat summit ended. Excerpts...
...dialogue. The Saudis, however, also explained that they could not publicly support Egypt's move lest they weaken the broad range of contacts they have laboriously built up all across the Arab world.

Said Saudi Information Minister Muhammed Abdo Yamani last week: "We are trying...
...targets of the five-day military operation were two camps in Mozambique that have been used as supply and staging areas for the guerrilla forces of Robert Mugabe, Marxist leader of ZANU (Zimbabwe African National Union). Waves of aging Canberra, Vampire and Hunter warplanes, followed by transports and helicopters carrying black and white troops, first hit a base near Chimoio, about 54 miles within Mozambique, and then attacked a camp near Tembue, 132 miles inside the border. According to Rhodesian officials, the attacks were extraordinarily successful, killing at least 1,200 guerrillas and destroying some 40 trucks and massive quantities...
Toffler's theories about the disaffection of many members of modern society would infuriate any Marxist. The problem with society today, Toffler says, has little to do with the separation of the wage-earner form the fruits of his labor or the inability of modern man to realize himself through his work activity (alienation). Quite to the contrary, Marx was making his own biased psychological presuppositions when he decided that man could never be a happy cog in the industrial machine, even if he were well-greased. Toffler attributes modern man's problems to natural difficulties in adapting...
