...national Panther leaders not in jail or in exile is Raymond Masai Hewitt, the 28-year-old ex-Marine who is Panther Minister of Education. He told TIME San Francisco Bureau Chief Jesse Birnbaum: "We know we can learn from the struggles of China, Korea and Russia. We use it as a guide to action. An ideology has to be a living thing. But the Black Panther Party is not really Maoist." Still, while they may not take all of their own inflammatory rhetoric seriously, other Americans cannot help taking them at their word...
...arena where the U.S. and Russia will have less influence is Asia. Thanks to a phenomenal growth rate, Japan has already become the world's third-ranking economic power; by 1980, its gross national product will have exceeded that of all the other nations in Asia combined. Japan will certainly continue to resist the impulse to become a military power once again. But its industrial and economic strength will give Japan growing influence over its Asian neighbors, and economic aid plus a regional military role will probably become inevitable toward the end of the decade...
...offered that advice despite his deep resentment of Russia's attempts to prevent China from determining its own fate. "The Russians didn't allow China to make a revolution," he once said.

In Moss's Three Sisters, this now-standard approach to the playwright is turned inside out (and must be, since Grotowski's views on acting are in practice, if not purpose, almost diametrically opposed to Stanislavski...
...Believer. An intense nationalist who had a Pan-Slavic fascination with Russia-one reason why his work is exceptionally popular in the Soviet Union -Janáček was a bitter atheist. "A church is concentrated death," he once said. "Tombs under the floor, bones on the altar, pictures that are nothing but torture and dying. Death and nothing but death. I don't want to have anything to do with it." Atheist or not, Janáček had a profoundly spiritual appreciation of the value of life. One of his most powerful compositions is the Slavonic Mass...
