...television, Hungary's news presentation carries virtually no film footage, nor even voice reports from foreign correspondents. The lead item usually updates what the satellite networks call America's "dirty aggressive war against the brave, peace-loving Vietnamese." And often there will be a swipe at "the revanchist Kiesinger-Strauss government in Bonn...
...Germany. It has limited to a meager 100 the number of West German clergymen who may come to this month's ceremonies at Wittenberg commemorating the 450th anniversary of the posting of the 95 Theses.

...Japan's "great debate" between advocates of stronger economic and political ties to Europe and America is and seekers after an old, compelling Pan-Asian vision is wonderfully clear; and Paul explains precisely how Russian propaganda justifies its hostility to an E.E.C. purported dominated and duped by monopolist and revanchist Germans. In a fascinating analysis packed thickly, like a sardine can, with facts, Dale Peterson gently and dexterously pulls apart Russia's role in the Spanish Civil...
