Like Arthurian Legends. Just as they do not accept the Arthurian legends or the Chanson de Roland as historic fact, many classicists agree with Berve's thesis that Homer's poems are far from literal truth. But few are quite so willing to reject Homer entirely. Simply because Troy seems to have been much smaller than Homer's description of it in the Iliad, says British Archaeologist James Mellaart, does not preclude the possibility that Homer may have patterned his story on an actual event.

Shrugging off Soviet claims of pre-eminence in the Communist movement, Berlinguer declared: "We reject the thesis that a single model of socialist society suitable for all situations can exist." An independent mood was also reflected in the speeches of party leaders from Australia, Austria, Britain, Rumania, Sweden and the illegal Spanish party...
