...carried off, holds the key to the success or failure of the current Kremlin leadership. Faced with a border war with China, the Soviet Union today must defend its national interests at the same time that it tries to justify them under the banner of 'proletarian internationalism.' In Eastern Europe, the invasion of Czechoslovakia has polarized the struggle for economic and political reform within the Communist movement. The diversity of Communist parties, the lack of relevance of the doctrine to specific problems, and the internal pressures?economic, military and political?within the Soviet Union have raised the question: What...
...China were both ready and willing to conquer Asia. Is it? Despite its nuclear power and its formidable manpower reserves, China is one of the world's poorer countries (estimated annual per capita income: $100, compared with Japan's $1,100). China's recent Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and the upheaval it caused may put domestic recovery ahead of foreign adventure for some time to come.

...C.C.N.Y. has been a major force in shaping U.S. intellectual life.

As the flagship campus of the 15-college City University of New York, it now has 20,000 students...

The great majority of romantic works require middle or upper class milieux to treat themes of love, estrangement, longing, and reunion. Jean Vigo's last film finds them inseparable from its proletarian setting. L'Atalante's style is, in fact, so strange and yet so integrated that one must look in his earlier Zero de Conduite (1933) for its sources...
Recognition Cycle. The congress could hardly have been held at a more critical time. Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution appears to have drawn to a close, and it is possible that Peking may return to more flexible foreign policies that could undermine Taiwan's international position. Taipei realizes that Washington would like nothing better than a relaxation of tensions with Peking. Besides, a more rational Chinese Communist view of the world would persuade more nations not only to recognize Mao's regime but also to swell the annual vote in favor of Peking's admission...
