...perhaps the chief fact about the invasion is that, far from strengthening Soviet-style Communism, Moscow has further crippled it. Acting on the flimsiest and most cynical of pretexts, Warsaw Pact troops throttled the infant independence of a state that had reiterated its fidelity to Moscow and Communism. To retain its grip on Eastern Europe?perhaps only for a few years more?the Soviet Union had sacrificed much of its influence among Communist parties elsewhere. Not since the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939 had the Kremlin acted so palpably from fear and weakness. Under present-day conditions, Moscow's treatment...
...Italian Communist Party, which won more than a quarter of the votes in the last national elections, expressed "grave dissent" with the Russians. In fact, every major Communist party in Western Europe turned its back on Moscow. That may turn out to be a very wise move. If they retain their independence, the Communist parties in Western Europe might finally have a chance to develop into truly national parties. As such, they might have more appeal to a broader spectrum of voters than they have had in the past, when they owed their ultimate allegiance to a foreign power. What...
...substantive act, the congress took the first step toward breaking N.S.A. into two corporate groups: one would retain N.S.A.'s tax-exempt status and carry out its present "educational" functions; the other would pay taxes and remain free to engage in open lobbying for legislation approved by N.S.A.'s annual congress.

As outgoing President Schwartz sees it, the more moderate students are so discouraged that they may drop out of student movements...
...Labor Statistics. New York, however, is a very special case. There the apartment shortage and the rent squeeze have become so bad that many office workers, professionals and young executives are reluctantly moving out to the suburbs, an exodus that bodes ill for the city's struggle to retain its middle-class population. President William J. Molloy of Molloy Bros. Moving & Storage, the largest affiliate of Allied Van Lines in the New York area, reports a 25% increase this summer in families moving out of Manhattan. "Business is so heavy we can't handle it," says Molloy...
...make Bikini habitable again. Thick, matted underbrush must be cleared and coconut palms planted to replace trees seared by atomic blasts. Two islets where tests were conducted have been blown off the map. Bikinians may have to forgo eating land crabs and pounded arrowroot, two delicacies that retain dangerous radioactive isotopes. But the overall level of radiation is now no higher than that of the city of Denver, and the Bikini lagoon teems with edible fish. It was the lagoon that they missed most during exile at Kili, where thundering waves often made fishing impossible...
