...most dangerous enemy is Colonel Tahar Zbiri, who was chief of staff until December, when he led an abortive coup to overthrow Boumediene. Still at large, Zbiri is a socialist zealot who resented the President's efforts to save Algeria's floundering economy by replacing revolutionaries with technocrats. Algeria's labor unionists are also at odds with Boumediene: they consider him not Marxist enough and blame him for an unemployment of 5,000,000, nearly half the work force. The small Algerian middle class hates Boumediene for dispossessing it from its once privileged position. And then...

In Peking, police forced the President's daughter to give public testimony against her father, then arrested her because her criticism was "insufficient...
Most Americans, including the policy makers, feel that if the United States successfully crushes the North Vietnamese attempt to overthrow the Saigon regime, revolutionaries all over the world will be decisively deterred. Such a victory will demonstrate once and for all that the United States has the power to carry out the Truman Doctrine and suppress uprisings led by "armed minorities." Once this action quells the revolutionary aspirations of any mischief-making extremists, the theory further predicts that countries of Asia and Latin America will forever be spared revolutions. The American-in-the-street is quick to understand that this...
