...Vietnamese puppet. From Hanoi's point of view, the operation was a success: between 89 and 103 guerrillas were killed or wounded in the action, while Vietnamese casualties were presumed to be much lighter. Moreover, the attack dealt a blow to the Khmer Front, the major non-Communist element in the close to 60,000-member guerrilla coalition that is continuing to resist the 1978 Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea...
...regime has never been recognized as legitimate by the United Nations. The Khmer Front and the Sihanouk forces have the backing of the U.S. and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines).

...replied "If I am dissatisfied with my secretary, I would suppose it would be within my rights in terminating his employment." As late as 15 to 20 years ago, a few state legislatures enforced laws banning from campuses speakers who pleaded the Fifth Amendment or refused to sign non-Communist affidavits, or threatened to "do violence to the academic atmosphere." Mississippi officials used such a statute in the late 1960's to keep Charles Evers and Aaron Henry, president of the NAACP, from giving speeches at state universities. These examples should remind us that educational institutions can never take free...
