...religion isn't just the opiate of the masses. Supreme socialist FIDEL CASTRO certainly seemed dazzled by his visit to POPE JOHN PAUL II last week. Reporters weren't invited to a meeting that incensed many Cuban exiles, so we can only speculate what the atheist and the anti-Marxist talked about. The Catholic teachers that schooled each of them back in the '30s? Why Castro expelled all those priests? How the Pope helped bring about the demise of Marxist Europe? More likely, they touched on the trade embargoes against Cuba, which both oppose, and the possibility of a papal...
...guiding principle of Harvard's policy on these matters should be an appropriation of Marxist rhetoric: Democratic capitalism calls for freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The human spirit and the quest for truth which we so much value in our academic studies and in our political debates are also embodied in the religions celebrated by students in the University.

MENGISTU HAILE MARIAM, 59; Ousted Marxist President of Ethiopia From 1977 to 1991, he ruled supreme. Now he is Addis Ababa's most reviled criminal defendant. Five years after he was driven out of his country by rebels, Ethiopia's Red Terror despot is being tried on charges of murder and genocide--in absentia. The guest of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe since 1991 (apparently in gratitude for the help he gave Mugabe's independence struggle in the 1970s), Mengistu lives in luxurious exile in a government-supplied villa in an exclusive suburb of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital, safe from repeated...
