GREECE Not Dead Yet In a five-page proclamation in the Eleftherotypia newspaper, the Marxist terror group Revolutionary Organization 17 November announced that it was "still alive." The text said that while "many fighters" had been lost?14 suspected members were arrested during July?the battle was not over. 17 November said that officials should be braced for more action, including hostage taking, in the near future. The Greek government, its antiterrorist units and foreign intelligence agencies debated whether the text was genuine. Greek police said that its down-to-earth style was suspicious: in the past, the group claimed...
...that, 100 years later, Pinochet's "refinement of the recipe" ended up "passing the flavor back" in the form of free-market Thatcherism. But Beckett takes no more than a fleeting glimpse at the U.S., which played a central role in the coup in which Chile's democratically elected Marxist President, Salvador Allende Gossens, died. Chile is still coming to terms with the horrors that followed. While Pinochet, now 86, has been deemed - in both Britain and Chile - too ill to face trial, activists still call for Henry Kissinger to be prosecuted. U.S. Secretary of State at the time...
...elect's hawkish talk, the U.S. Congress looks ready this summer to approve the Bush Administration's request for some half a billion dollars in military aid for Colombia; it would be the first time the U.S. has funded counterinsurgency in Latin America since the 1980s.

On election night, Uribe seemed to concede that his presidency...
...ties, and reveled in his homosexuality. "He was like a jester, the one who holds up a mirror to the politicians and says, 'Look, you're ugly,'" notes Arthur Ringeling, a political scientist at Rotterdam's Erasmus University. Raised in a middle-class Catholic family, Fortuyn was a nominal Marxist during his university studies but later joined the Labor Party. With a doctorate in sociology, he became a professor at Erasmus in 1990. Though he was popular with his students, a university committee judged his scholarly efforts inadequate, and he resigned in 1995. By then he already had a successful...
Freshman year: I start dating an FM executive who fancies himself a Marxist of sorts. I begin to convert myself to angry liberalism peppered with snide remarks regarding the wealthy, the established, the nationalist, the patriotic. I caress my Dover edition of Theory of the Leisure Class and use phrases such as “pecuniary emulation” and “consumer consciousness.” I think Juliet Schor (czarina of “Shop ’Til You Drop”) embodies the ideal human. I adhere to Harvard liberalism and hatred of the military...
