...wave of popular revolt that has washed over Europe in the past two years, the Party of Labor of Albania seemed the best bet. Since coming to power in 1944, Albania's communists have gone to great lengths to avoid all compromising entanglements with the outside world. Enver Hoxha, socialist Albania's founder, rejected all contact with the West and broke ranks with communist allies in Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and China when they deviated from strict orthodoxy...
Cantor, of course, has learned from the "Free Love" years that a socialist society of intellectuals will answer the questions of morality more quickly than one which is market-based.

...message was clear. Far from being grateful for the time and money the Tribune Co. had invested, the fed-up employees preferred almost anyone else. Not that Maxwell is just anyone.

With each week of war, French approval of Mitterrand's stand deepened, despite perceptible unease about the ultimate objectives of the conflict. The conservative opposition backed him; the only sniping came from the far right, the Communists, and pacifists within his own Socialist Party. But as a member of the so-called Munich generation, which witnessed the West's failure in 1938 to nip Hitler's deadly ambitions in the bud, Mitterrand stood firmly against appeasement. Elysee Palace aides noticed a deep anger taking hold of him as he watched Saddam's cynical maneuvering, his wanton destruction and his contempt...
