...detente-minded West Germany. Chancellor Willy Brandt is particularly anxious for a settlement in Berlin to buttress his shaky coalition of Social Democrats and Free Democrats. Still, if the Russians want to heighten tensions in the city again, they got the perfect pretext at week's end. A rightist sniper, who left behind handbills charging that Brandt was abandoning West Berlin, seriously wounded a Soviet sentry guarding the Russian war memorial in the British sector of the city...
Silenced Spokesman. Frank King. 24, a Detroit medical student, was given two years in prison. Michael Woodridge. 25, King's British cousin, was sentenced to 15 months' confinement. Though neither man was known as a far-rightist in his home country, both were arrested in East Berlin last summer for pasting up propaganda posters bearing Nazi swastikas. They joined three other Americans in East Berlin's grim Hohenschoenhausen prison: Jack Strickland, 28, who was sentenced two months ago to four years for alleged border violations and supposedly trying to slip East Germans out of their walled...
...important objective referents in today's U.S. political scene. Our broadest terms-left, right and center-derive from the seating arrangement of the French Assembly in 1789; the terms made sense then, but do they now, when an extreme leftist on one set of issues may be a rightist or a centrist on another set (as, for instance, in the conflict over big v. little government) and when the whole content of leftism and rightism shifts drastically from decade to decade? Much of the currency of our discussion (slavery, rebellion, treason) is Confederate money. We are, in short, victims...
...Leftist Rightist. Child of a broken marriage (he describes his father as "a gentle Irish drunk"), Leonard was raised in Southern California by his mother. He squeezed into Harvard in 1956 mainly because of a geographical quota system, and after spending two dull years doing little but writing captions for the Crimson, he flunked out. He wandered to Greenwich Village and picked up two reputations: one for being leftist, the other for being rightist...
...Rightist Maneuvering. So far, Chile's military, which has not staged a coup since 1932, appears willing to continue its tradition of accepting the verdict of the electorate. Allende charged last week, however, that somebody was plotting to assassinate him. There is also some maneuvering going on among the rightists. In the past, the Chilean Congress has always selected as President the candidate who polled the most votes. But the rightists are suggesting that the Christian Democrats should throw their support this time to Alessandri, the runner-up. He in turn declared last week that if he should...
