...struggle to end Apartheid undoubtedly caused the group to simplisticly infer connections with the causes of Arafat, Qaddafi and more recently, Assad. The ANC's associations with the pariahs of the world delegitimized an otherwise legitimate cause and only made it more difficult for the ANC's non-Marxist, non-terrorist sympathizers to support them. Pretoria's continued pursuit of these relationships in the face of Western objections raises important foreign policy considerations for Washington...
...seizure of University Hall, has been arrested in Mexico City for alleged revolutionary activities. Mexican police charge that he is a member of the Movimiento de Accion Revolucionario, a group allegedly responsible for a series of bank robberies. Later allegations link him to the Comando Armando del Peuble, a Marxist urban guerilla group. Authorities do not level a specific charge. Under Mexican law, Hyland may be held in prison for as long as a year before charges are brought...
...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.

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...
Figes is no monarchist, and no Marxist either, and his account respects none of their several sides. (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...
