...Jackson in fact a political prisoner? And what about Angela Davis, accused of supplying guns to Jackson's brother Jonathan in last year's shootout at the Marin County Courthouse? Radicals and quite a few liberals, regardless of race, would emphatically answer yes. More than that, many would contend that all black prisoners in American jails are political prisoners in the sense that a "racist," white-dominated political and economic system has condemned them, in their poverty and blackness, to lives of crime...

In 1968 an American reconnaissance patrol happened on a Viet Cong squad that was led by a sandy-haired American who wore a red sash and carried a Communist AK-47 assault rifle; killed in the subsequent shootout, the American was identified as a Marine deserter. The latest sighting of a suspected defector occurred just three weeks ago near Kontum: villagers reported a visit by a Viet Cong patrol that included one very tall man who appeared to be a black...
