...rock-associated Brecker brothers sound good here, but are probably over-represented. As on Three or Four Shades of Blues, maverick Coryell shows considerable understanding of Mingus's music in a number of excellent solos. Bassists Eddie Gomez and George Mraz wisely shy away from the spotlight, the obvious comparison with Mingus being overwhelming. Trumpeter Jack Walrath and saxophonist George Coleman each step forth briefly but decisively, while musicians of the caliber of Pepper Adams, Slide Hampton, Jimmy Knepper and Konitz take part without ever really asserting themselves...
...Said one Hong Kong observer: "It's like hearing a couple of cats squawling in the middle of the night ?they're making a helluva racket, but you don't know if they are fighting or making love." From the start of hostilities, however, it was all too obvious that the front-line units of China's huge, 3% million-man land army and those of Viet Nam's leaner but highly honed 615,000 troops were not embracing. At dawn on Saturday, Feb. 17, Chinese forces, massed more than 300,000 strong north of Viet Nam in Yunnan...
...With so obvious a propaganda advantage, the Soviet Union at week's end had essentially limited its counterattack against China to a fusillade of words. Pravda ventilated Soviet "wrath and indignation" at the Chinese aggression. Without making a specific threat, Soviet Defense Minister Ustinov reaffirmed that the U.S.S.R.

Emphasizing that the Chinese invasion was launched "almost the next day" after Teng Hsiao-p'ing's return from Washington, Pravda protested that...
...other leftist groups that Iran's new leaders last week staged their first diplomatic extravaganza: the welcoming to Tehran of Palestine Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat. The P.L.O. trained many of Khomeini's fighters, and Arafat was anxious to cash in on the debt. Hailing the obvious, Arafat happily declared after his arrival on a Syrian jet that Khomeini's triumph had "turned upside down" the Middle East political equations (see following story). Despite Arafat's euphoria-"Today Iran, tomorrow Palestine," he declared at a news conference-his hosts seemed to be as eager...
...Vorster Library: Two syllables are catchier than three. Despite obvious hurdles, this name has promise. Like an effigy, it stands as an object of political antipathy. Such a symbol could stir students of politics to new heights of democratic dissent. Politicians are doomed to forget; the wrath and indignation inspired by a Vorster library would soon cool. In time, "Vorster" might reel off the tongue provoking as little thought of genocide as, say, "Custer...
