...leadership closed Der Spiegel's East Berlin bureau, the first such Communist action since East and West Germany agreed to exchange journalists in 1972. A wide-scale press campaign in the East tried to discredit the manifesto as a "malicious concoction" of West German intelligence. Initially some Communist-propaganda experts in Bonn had suspected the document's authenticity. Now, however, there is agreement that the manifesto was composed by a small group of dissidents and low-level party members in the East...
...these problems, we must first closely examine the proposed composition of the CRR (seven faculty, six students). Faculty members will still command a majority. The reform proposals triumphantly note that the faculty chairman "will vote only to break a tie." This is meaningless propaganda: the faculty chairman will vote only when his vote counts. The CRR is small, and a tie is not at all unlikely. Also, students might have to be disqualified, as they were after the 1969 strike, from the CRR, if they participated in the events under judgment, thus increasing the faculty majority. Indeed, 46 per cent...
...propaganda war was just as intense. Phnom-Penh accused its neighbors in Viet Nam of destroying Cambodian rubber plantations, burning forests, seizing cattle and poultry, even "raping and killing our women in crueler manner than the Thieu-Ky and South Korean mercenary troops of the past."

Far worse, it accused the guerrillas of "raping, tearing fetuses from mothers' wombs, disemboweling adults and burning children alive." Were it not for the fact that thousands...
...hunger for information about the once seldom-discussed days of the Third Reich, West Germans keep devouring books about their Nazi past. Latest object of their fascination is Joseph Goebbels, the fiery orator and master of the Big Lie who served for twelve years as the Nazi Minister of Propaganda. Almost as soon as excerpts from his 1945 diary were published late last year, they shot onto the West German bestseller lists.* Because Goebbels apparently intended to use this diary primarily as source material for a book, he never took the time to edit or rewrite his entries...
...Goebbels records frequently that "the sight of the Führer is always thrilling," he is growing impatient with the dictator's refusal to take advice. Particularly vexing is Hitler's reluctance to try to lift the country's faltering morale by broadcasting a speech. The propaganda chief reminds Hitler that in the dark hours after Dunkirk, Churchill rallied Britons with a moving address, as did Stalin during the attack on Moscow. Yet Hitler remains adamant, and a dejected Goebbels writes: "The Führer has an aversion to the microphone which is quite incomprehensible...
