ONLY THE independence parties make economic inequality a major plank in their platform. Recently, the independence movement has identified itself with socialism, moving from an analysis of colonialism per se to a critique of its local economic consequences. The Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) envisions a socialist democracy, perhaps in the style of Sweden, while the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP) calls itself a Marxist-Leninist party and proposes revolutionary socialism like Cuba's. They point out that economic growth cannot become self-sustaining because the profits of Puerto Rican industry are remitted to the United States, and association with...
Astride the Gap. The positive mood continued during the Secretary's 24-hour stopover in Peru, whose left-leaning military government espouses what it describes as "revolutionary socialist nationalism." Kissinger conferred for nearly an hour with Military Junta President General Francisco Morales Bermudez, gave a luncheon at the U.S. embassy, and attended a dinner in his honor at the Palacio Torre Tagle in Lima.

Leonid Brezhnev's decade-long rule is inexorably coming to its natural end, even though Kremlinologists no longer believe he will use the congress podium to announce his retirement. Whatever the state of his health, this is surely the last Party congress over which he will preside as General Secretary. Several others in the gerontocratic Politburo (average age: 66) will also...
Shaw said that Mrs. Warren was written for women "to draw attention to the truth that prostitution is caused, not by female depravity and male licentiousness," but by economic injustice. Though a passionate Fabian Socialist, Shaw was prudish. Hence Vivie Warren, Mrs. W's feminist daughter raised in innocence about her mother's livelihood, can still speak to contemporary women about financial independence and job prejudice. But she has nothing to say about female sexual needs...
