...authorities. They are defending their private property, their investment. They are acting to uphold the law. But human life comes before property rights. If they use violence, we will not retaliate, but we will collectively resist arrest or removal by all possible nonviolent means. We give each occupier a six-hour training session before the action to inform him or her of all possible means of intimidation, crowd dispersal and legal action that may be used against us. The police are not our enemies. Nuclear power threatens everyone, and we oppose it out of a respect and concern...
Though the six-hour battle left 500 Polisarios dead, compared with 125 Moroccans, according to Rabat's claims, the attack clearly shocked Hassan. Last week the King himself made a somewhat desperate public pitch to justify the annexation and try to regain some international support by portraying himself as the guardian of Western interests in North Africa.

NBC fired off James Michener's Centennial, Backstairs at the White House, a six-hour remake of From Here to Eternity, American Graffiti and The Sound of Music. ABC, which now rules the ratings charts, disdained such vulgar showmanship, but, in fact, it threw in the heaviest salvo of all: the $16 million sequel to Roots, which two years ago drew the biggest audience...
...buffalo carts are on the road." Prince Norodom Sihanouk, 56. In perhaps the strangest episode of the week, the ebullient "god-prince" who once ruled Cambodia suddenly' emerged from the house arrest in, which he had been kept for three years by Pol Pot. Following a bizarre six-hour press conference in Peking, Sihanouk flew to New York City to plead the Kampuchean cause before the U.N. Security Council. His 41-minute speech turned out to be one of his best ever. Without straining his credibility by defending the Pol Pot regime, Sihanouk made a strong case for imperiled...
