...Revolution-the witch doctor in tiger skins," wrote a Polish poet in praise of the Congo rebellion. In fact, Red witchcraft is doing poorly in Africa. The only African country under outright Communist domination is the former colony of Congo-Brazzaville. Through hamhanded diplomacy and sloppy technology, the Russians alienated two of their likeliest converts, Guinea's Sekou Toure and Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah. China, usually more subtle in its subversive techniques, has also managed to stomp on African toes. Peking's men in Burundi were thrown out early this year after a Chinese subversion campaign that...
...Rudolf Zimmermann, famous German throat specialist: "From a medical standpoint there is not the slightest shred of evidence that there could be such a link to the mind. Singers -often out of necessity and insecurity -may harbor a somewhat inflated ego. But few of them could be considered outright dumb...
...hope that his partners would cave in and drop their supranational proposals, De Gaulle carefully kept the door slightly ajar. By "inviting" Boegner home rather than formally recalling him, the general avoided an outright break in diplomatic relations that would have signaled the end of the Common Market.

Still, so complex have the Six's economic ties become that De Gaulle's veto on any new business has the effect of slowly...
...sure to raise a storm anywhere on the Continent. They violate one of Europe's oldest labor traditions: a job, once obtained, is supposed to last indefinitely. Normally, European-owned factories switch workers to other assignments or put them on half-day shifts, but almost never fire them outright. Machines Bull-General Electric a month ago drew black headlines and angry cries of "Paris is not Arizona!" when it laid off 500 workers. When the U.S.-owned Beloit-Italia paper machinery plant near Turin tried to lay off 300 employees recently, workers invaded the factory in protest and occupied...
...greatest danger lies not in outright propaganda but in the power of illusion. A large part of world opinion still insists that John Kennedy was the victim of an extremist plot. Again and again, with or without help from Red propaganda, such terms as "imperialism," "intervention," "exploitation" and "fallout" produce outbursts of unreasoning prejudice. Semantics run wild, or merely sloppy. Such labels as "mercenaries" for the government soldiers in the Congo and "constitutionalists" for the rebels in the present Dominican crisis, are picked up and repeated, subtly changing the climate of opinion...
