...Angola--Government of National Unity" while the liberals and white left maintain "U.S. out of Angola--MPLA." The peculiar instance of black groups supporting the party which the media had tagged as collaborators with the racist South African regime bears special looking into. Black organizations like the now clearly marxist African Liberation Support Committee (ALSC) have begun to take a more prodding look at the facts beyond what is presented in the press. ALSC has sent representatives to Angola to bring back firsthand accounts to the black community of what is really going on. Their reports are at total variance...
...independence movement has identified itself with socialism, moving from an analysis of colonialism per se to a critique of its local economic consequences. The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) envisions a socialist democracy, perhaps in the style of Sweden, while the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP) calls itself a Marxist-Leninist party and proposes revolutionary socialism like Cuba's. They point out that economic growth cannot become self-sustaining because the profits of Puerto Rican industry are remitted to the United States, and association with the United States forces Puerto Rico to buy American products which are more expensive than...
...conspiring with Soviet agents to sub vert his government. The Kremlin has lately been embarrassed by the politi cal misjudgments of Portugal's aggressive Stalinist party. The huge 1,730,000member Italian party has now been joined by the 275,000-member French party in rejecting the Marxist model for Communism in their countries and in proclaiming (convincingly or not) their adherence to Western democratic principles.

...Cuban menace extends well beyond Latin America. Havana's most visible presence, of course, is in Angola, where 12,000 Cuban troops are serving the Marxist government in Luanda. The Cubans have been responsible for most of the M.P.L.A. victories, but at some cost. There are estimates that 300 have been killed and 1,400 wounded; at least 100 have been taken prisoner. Such losses may have an impact at home, where only within the past month have Cubans been formally told by Premier Fidel Castro what their men have been doing for nearly a year...
Plyushch, 37, who still considers himself a "neo-Marxist," was remanded to the Dnepropetrovsk special mental hospital in July 1973 after prison doctors had diagnosed him as a schizophrenic. Once there, he recalled last week: "The horror of the psukhushka [madhouse] got to me. There were more patients than beds, and in two beds shoved together I was put in the middle place of three. Patients twisted in pain from administration of drugs. One of them had his tongue hanging out, another his eyes popping, a third walked curved in an unnatural manner...
