Kissinger, for his part, wants to avoid an all-out racial war in Rhodesia, which might force South African military intervention to prevent the slaughter of the country's 278,000 whites. The Secretary recognizes the unique role that Vorster and his people can still play on the continent: in his Lusaka speech last April, he told a predominantly black audience that white South Africans "are not colonialists" and that "historically they are African people." At the Bavarian summit, Kissinger will urge Vorster to surrender jurisdiction over Namibia and proclaim a timetable, "acceptable to the world community," for greater...
...industrial nations are moving from recession to recovery and on to expansion," says Gerald Parsky, Treasury Assistant Secretary for International Affairs. "We have got to prevent re-igniting inflation in the process. Recovery without inflation can only come if we increase our cooperative efforts."

The PCI's rise is the product of long-term changes in Italian society, economy and politics--changes which are unlikely to be reversed. American interference is unlikely to prevent an eventual PCI victory; it will only antagonize the electorate. Furthermore, a compromise between the Christian Democratic and Communist parties is the development most likely to provide a broad popular base for a viable government; such a coalition is the only force capable of regenerating Italy's stagnant economy.
