...five-year agreement calls for S.G.M. to take over the Union Minière operation. S.G.M. will also recruit non-African technical personnel and market the minerals from the mines. While answerable to Gecomin, the Belgian company will handle the payment of guaranteed hard-currency wages to non-African workers. The agreement cannot be terminated until 1972, and then only if two years' notice has been given by either party. S.G.M. will make 4.5% or some $15 million a year, plus expenses, on sales of copper for the new Congolese management...

What is the best way to recruit a potential member, he asked. Do you gain their confidence and then tell them you're a Communist, or do you warn them you're a Communist first?

Quoting current intelligence estimates, McNamara put total "con- firmed" Communist strength in South Viet Nam at 275,000 men at the end of December, up 25,000 for the entire year. But since June, he said, the enemy has been unable to expand its forces- apparently...
Party members in the barracks periodically conduct cleansing sessions, in which the soldier and his comrades sit around a table and discuss any improper thoughts they have caught themselves thinking. This constant self-criticism is carried into the army's upper echelons. A recruit, for example, may be surprised when a colonel walks into the barracks in a private's uniform and begins to help clean the latrine. The colonel is merely conforming to the "Officers to the Ranks" movement. When this program began in 1959, officers were expected 'to spend a month of every year living like privates...
