...Believe me, it is not easy to resist the temptation to power," said Algeria's Premier Ahmed Ben Bella last week on the first anniversary of Algeria's inde pendence. In the past year Ben Bella's problem has not been so much to resist power as to keep it, along with a modicum of order. By and large he has done better than he or anyone else had a right to expect. In almost any other place, the country's problems would be considered disastrous, but in Algeria they add up to stability of sorts...
Speedy Verdict. Apparently expecting the police to come for him, Martinis did not resist arrest, but at the police station he sullenly refused to take a drunkometer test.

Since the East German Communists' strategy seems aimed at taming the churches rather than openly destroying them, the Weissensee declaration carefully specifies situations in which Christians must resist totalitarianism. They fail their responsibility, the Weissensee declaration points out, if they "remain silent about the sins of our times." The churches are equally unfaithful to their calling if they submit "to the absolute claim of an ideology" or agree to an atheist morality "in which man without God is made the goal of education and culture." The declaration...
