...long as the shares are bought by employees, or possibly their neighbors if an enterprise happens to be a collective (a few of which have in fact sold shares). An exchange on which employees and neighbors could trade the shares among themselves? "That is under study." A social scientist specializing in Marxist ideology goes so far as to suggest that since Marxism-Leninism purports to be a science, even nonparty people should have the right to re-examine it. Says he: "Science belongs to everybody...
Italian Communist leaders have praised the Chinese for asking the right questions about why Soviet-style Marxism has failed economically, and a highly sympathetic account of the Chinese reforms appeared in East Germany's official newspaper Neues Deutschland. Svetozar Stojanovic, a Yugoslav social scientist now serving as a visiting scholar in the U.S., goes so far as to say that "in the eyes of many people, the Chinese have become the new vanguard in the Communist world." More surprising still are the views of Silviu Brucan, professor of sociology at the University of Bucharest in Rumania, a nation formally allied...
...Chinese social scientist states the dilemma pithily. Says he: "If the party does not continue the reforms, the economic situation will get worse. But if the reforms continue, the party itself will lose power" to newly rich peasants and newly independent factory managers. His conclusion is that the party will cut back on, if not reverse, the reforms rather than let that happen. But Zhao Fusan, a senior scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, states flatly that "the process of economic reforms will naturally bring about a process of democratization, the setting up of checks and balances...
...modern quest for a Theory of Everything began not long after Einstein published his theory of general relativity in 1915. Eager to continue breaking new ground, the great scientist next attempted to link his pet force, gravity, to electromagnetism. He pursued this quest without success until his death...
...indeed a gamble. In the last seconds before the encounter, Giotto ran into what one scientist described as a "wall of dust the size of grains of sand." The spacecraft's protective dust shields were peppered with particles at a rate of 100 impacts a second, a bombardment that swung its antenna out of alignment with a tracking station in Australia. That brought communications to a halt. But before the blackout, Giotto relayed more than 2,000 images of Halley's back to earth, plus a torrent of data from the ten on-board instruments...
