...latest episode happened last week. In the "Red Belt" Paris suburb of St. Ouen, 1,600 French Communists filed into an oyster-shaped sports arena for their 22nd Party Congress. A sign inside the hall proclaimed: A DEMOCRATIC ROAD TO SOCIALISM-A SOCIALISM FOR FRANCE. Party Leader Georges Marchais amplified that soothing slogan in a five-hour opening address that amounted to a cautious declaration of independence from Moscow...
Troop Airlift. Some Western observers read the comparative lull in the fighting last week as a sign that the kind of debate going on in Moscow was also going on in Luanda. As one longtime British Angola watcher put it, Neto and his lieutenants may be realizing that "even if they win the next battle, it's going to be tough to win the war."

Unfortunately I see little sign that Wilson's critics have understood his work. In fact, some criticisms seem to reflect a deliberate misreading of the book. A recent article on the editorial page of The Crimson compared Wilson to Herbert Spencer and attempted to find him guilty by association. This is purely a sophomoric game, just as it would be to compare a modern geneticist of Richard Lewontin's calibre to Lamarck, or to B.F. Skinner. Even during the late sixties, when the emotional energy behind university politics was far greater, it would have been rare for the Crimson...
