...guerrilla weekends" of tackling weeds, in line with Fidel's plea for communal work and "true, fraternal, humane Communism." Dirty boots, rolled-up sleeves and talk of agriculture are marks of honor in today's Cuba, even in the cities. Dairy farms equipped with modern machinery have sprung up-Havana province alone has 25 under construction-and highly scientific livestock breeding is encouraged. In the Cordón, new small towns are springing up. There are miles upon square miles of newly tilled soil and scores of "piccolinos," tiny Italian-made Jeep-type tractors. Little shortage of equipment...
...movie shatters it beyond repair. In Siberia, a political prisoner has been pardoned by Russia's Premier (Laurence Olivier) after 20 years in a slave-labor camp. The freed man is no ordinary convict: he is Kiril Lakota, a tough, Mindszenty-like Slavic archbishop. Lakota has been sprung because Russia and China stand ready to trigger an atomic holocaust. The premier, who just happens to be La-kota's former inquisitor, is desperately gambling that the prelate can somehow persuade the world that the Soviet Union wants peace...

...slowly began to rise. The major impetus was supplied by the completion of a network of freeways during the '60s. They not only converge on the core of the city but form an irregular loop around it, making driving downtown comparatively easy. Most of the new skyscrapers have sprung up along the sector of the freeway loop that is closest to the downtown core. As a result, the center of downtown Los Angeles has shifted several blocks west, while the eastern part of the area remains largely untouched by the renaissance...
...answer to youthful excess. Nonetheless, racial fear and generational disapprobation-on both sides-are potent forces in the politics of resentment. This is so not only among blue-collar workers. More and more, the clash is over fundamental value systems rather than public policy. The New Conservatism has not sprung full-blown from one social-economic group in 1968. It has been growing for years, and in disparate directions...
