Most Americans (52% to 32%) think a third World War can be avoided, and lopsided majorities favor reducing East-West tensions in general. In particular, they would approve agreements with the Soviet Union to enlarge the U.N.'s peace-keeping role and to control nuclear weapons. While they support such initiatives, however, the only one given a real chance of success is nuclear-arms limitation; 51% think that is likely to come about, while 28% disagree and 21 % are uncertain...
...surface warships of TF-71 were redeployed from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea, possibly in response to Russian displeasure. The withdrawal takes the main force from the eastern side of the Korean peninsula to its western approaches. More important, it moves the ships farther from Soviet shores, making them less provocative to Moscow. In any event, it seems that TF-71 will be only a temporary measure. General Earle G. Wheeler, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a special House investigating committee last week that TF-71 is "inordinately expensive" and can only be maintained...
Increasingly Important. The crackdown is partially a result of Soviet pressure. Concerned about the possibility of the commandos' touching off another war, Russia has in recent weeks passed word to its Arab client states that no more Soviet weapons earmarked for their armies are to be passed along to the fedayeen. When the Palestine Liberation Organization publicly complained that "the Soviet Union persists in ignoring the rights of the Palestinians," Moscow's Sovietskaya Rossiya hauled out one of its strongest epithets, labeling them Trotskyites. For good measure, it added that their aim of "the liquidation of Israel...
Whatever long-run effect the Soviet pressure may have on Arab governments, it has dented neither the belligerence nor the armory of the fedayeen. One reason is that they have another source of guns, mines and ammunition from an increasingly important friend: China. Peking is taking full advantage of the opportunity to make trouble simultaneously for both the U.S. and Russia in the Middle East...
...whole theoretical Marxist-Leninist underpinning of the Communist state. Marxism cannot be revised, he declares; it must be discarded altogether. He parts company with those moderate Marxists-including a number of American college students-who are trying to salvage what they can from Marxism after its corruption by Soviet totalitarianism. To Djilas, the two are inseparable. For him, Stalin was not a ruthless aberration but the inevitable consummation of Marxism: theory made practice. The ironclad Marxist system is all but useless for historical interpretation, thinks Djilas. It endures only as a revolutionary ideology promising instant transformation to those...
