...Solidarity office in Brussels became an international clearinghouse: for representatives of the Vatican, for CIA operatives, for the AFL-CIO, for representatives of the Socialist International, for the congressionally funded National Endowment for Democracy, which also worked closely with Casey. It was the place where Solidarity told its backers -- some of whose real identities were unknown to Solidarity itself -- what it needed, where goods and supplies and organizers could be most useful. Priests, couriers, labor organizers and intelligence operatives moved in and out of Poland with requests for aid and with detailed information on the situation inside the government...
...crazy talk, downright revolutionary, particularly coming from a respected young Princeton graduate and Rome Prize winner. By the time his book was published in 1966, Venturi had actually built a house illustrating his alarming, thrilling ideas in a Philadelphia suburb, for the perfect client: his well-to-do socialist mother. As with much of his work since, he took the debased, muddled classical references residually present in most suburban houses and made them self- conscious, explicit, arch. The house was two decades ahead of its time. Imagine a Pop artwork from 1945, or a rap recording from...
...Algeria should have been holding the concluding round of parliamentary elections, proving that it could move peacefully from one-party socialist rule to a pluralist state, the country's military was putting the finishing touches on a bloodless coup d'etat. Last Thursday, just five days after the army forced the resignation of President Chadli Bendjedid, provoking the dissolution of parliament and cancellation of the elections that had promised to hand Muslim fundamentalists a legislative majority, Mohammed Boudiaf was sworn in as head of a military-backed, five-member Council of State. Boudiaf has splendid credentials -- he is nonpartisan...
After 10 months of hearings, more than 100 witnesses and 50,000 pages of documents, the epic trial of former socialist Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou in the $210 million Bank of Crete scandal came to an end last week. The colossal tangle helped topple his flamboyant eight-year rule in 1989, but the court acquitted...
...successfully to replace communism with Western-style democracy, in other former Soviet satellites the alternative to red rule seems to be a mystic nationalism based on blood and soil. That holds particularly true for the main antagonists in the Yugoslav civil war. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, still nominally a socialist, has led his people to war in the name of a virulent ethnic nationalism that has nothing in common with the international brotherhood of workers to which he once professed allegiance. For his major opponent, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, democratic principles merely temper a style reminiscent of a Latin American...
