...WHAT is all this flagwaving about? As far as political symbolism goes, the actions of Ritchie Bradley makes a strong example for Sparts to point to and prove that they are not just Marxist political rhetoric. The incident in San Francisco will join ranks with the Sparticists' rally in Washington November of 1982 to stop the Klan from marching, and the fight on the University of Mississippi campus to ban the Confederate flag there...
...unless you can talk with adversaries, you cannot help the ally." He would try to curtail U.S. investments in South Africa, while increasing foreign aid to other African nations. Jackson is unconvinced that Cuba and Nicaragua are fomenting revolution in Central America. He favors "normalizing" relations with the Marxist-led Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, which he says is "on the right side of history," and withdrawing all troops from the region.

And Harvard is doing it's part for the anti-Soviet war drive by trying to crush students who mobilize against...
...established in the military, have managed to resist, and even reverse, the new direction. Though China has, at last count, 1.1 billion people, its G.N.P. is less than half that of France (pop. 55 million). Above all, in its attempt to balance freedom with control, capitalist methods with Marxist assumptions, the present regime has often swung violently between extremes. After more than a century of shifts and countershifts, political twists and ideological turns, many Chinese are disenchanted and disoriented. They, together with their leaders, cannot help wondering how long the latest developments will last...
