I wonder who printed all the propaganda I received those days. I wonder who paid for the transportation of those I met from New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.

He yearned for the support of César Chávez, a Bobby Kennedy supporter and leader of California migrant workers who has become...
...achieved in Czechoslovakia: the party has acquired its first genuinely widespread popularity. The Czechoslovak ambassador in Bucharest has a fat file containing the names of local families who have volunteered to take in stranded Czechs. A Rumanian writer who spent seven years in jail for organizing a demonstration in support of the rebel Hungarians in 1956 reported that scores of people are now joining the party-including many who were previously opposed to it and had suffered for refusing to go along...
