Real Newspaper. As an instrument to refurbish the image of Communist unity, the conference was a bust. That very fact, oddly enough, may serve to make Communism seem less sinister to the rest of the world. For what the delegates in effect ratified in Moscow was a decision to tolerate dissent within Communism, thus bringing to the movement a semblance of democracy. It was the first summit in history in which Communists were allowed to disagree with the majority view and could hold to their divergent beliefs without threat of being thrown out of the movement. At the farewell reception...
...Walter Bagehot noted that a constitutional monarch has only three rights: "The right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn." Those narrow royal prerogatives have further diminished in the years since. Such considerable aura as the British crown still has for Britons and the rest of the world is largely the residual glow from the past. It emanates from the legends and lives of England's kings, evoking images of silver trumpets raised on lofty battlements, the colored swirl of pennants and the flashing swords on Bosworth Field, and all the pageantry that still occasionally stirs...

Along with their home-grown marijuana and vegetables, however, they have...
...bandits who ride through the Southwest trying to scrape together an honorably illegal living. The money from previous jobs has just about run out, and the bunch is being trailed by a group of murderous bounty hunters. After an unsuccessful stickup in which two of them are killed, the rest light out for Mexico, with the bounty hunters hard on their trail, looking to make what Bishop calls "one good score...
