...Chicago public schools). The cruel story is repeated in many urban ghettos. The church is unable or unwilling to subsidize education for non-Catholics (60% of the Providence-St. Mel enrollment), but the law does not permit tax money to help out because the schools are under religious sponsorship...
Soon it was clear that the ACSR final report would not contain the minimum demands of a number of student anti-apartheid groups: immediate divestiture of holdings in banks lending money to the Pretoria government, and sponsorship of shareholder resolutions for withdrawal of corporations doing business in South Africa.

But that could not work. Observes Don Tretiak, an American China watcher: "The Chinese should have been more careful about their Cambodian commitment. Supporting a weak but obstreperous ally is very bad politics." Now Peking fears that its deteriorating relations with Viet Nam will push Hanoi further into the embrace of Moscow. Worst of all, if the Vietnamese were to rout the Cambodians...
