...There are a good many old-line Marxists who resent Yugoslavia's freewheeling new look and try to sabotage it whenever they can. Not long ago, Tito called a plenum and delivered a blistering rebuke to those "who have worked in a way contrary to the implementation of reform." The old-liners are under pressure from a different direction: Tito is encouraging the 8,000,000-member Socialist Alliance, once a rubber-stamp popular front, to stand in local elections against his ruling League of Yugoslav Communists Party. Though still under the League's wing, the Alliance will...
Frustrated General. Horrifying as the scene was, it only documented the accelerating deterioration of Mobutu and his military regime, which seized power last November, supposedly to reform the Congo. Frustrated at every turn, Mobutu has in recent months been lashing out wildly at everyone who seemed to stand in his way, and his list of assorted traitors and plotters has grown to include foreign embassies as a group, the Belgians in particular, ex-Premier Moise Tshombe and the entire Congolese Parliament.

It reads like a drunk shouting in a pub, happy as only such a man can be, and only half-remembering, not entirely clear in his mind what he wants to say. But the infectious Behan rhythm is unmistakable, and so is the Behan tongue. Mountjoy Prison, Strangeways Jail, bouts on the Left Bank, a party for a colleen celebrating her abortion, pimping...
...structure of SDS at Harvard, although based upon theories of democratic decision-making, also indicates a reaction against the Stalinists of the 30's. The Harvard Chapter has no less than four co-chairmen. Separate committees study and act on Vietnam, Labor, Civil Rights, South Africa, and University Reform. The executive committee theoretically consists of only the chairmen of the various committees, but in practice, anyone may attend executive committee meetings...
