They are painfully aware of their country's Nazi past; two years ago, a public opinion poll showed that 60% of those between the ages of 16 and 29 would rather live in another country...

For the time being, that put to rest doubts about whether Mao was still around-except among Moscow sources, who insist that...
...greater student participation in university government. Almost half of the new collegians plan to take an active part in campus politics; a clear majority believe that students should have the power to affect all university decisions.
