...responsibility to lead the rest of Germany "into a future of peace and Socialism." Formally establishing the old Marxist goal of the dictatorship of the proletariat, it states that "all political power is exercised by the working class"-which means, of course, the Communist Party. In a tacit reference to the Wall, the new document confines freedom of movement for East Germany's 17 million people to the country's boundaries. In hopes of easing East Germany's labor shortage, it declares that all citizens have the duty to work...
...said that illegitimate births in the U.S. have tripled in the past 25 years.

These units may soon be meshed into a national organization. It is still questionable whether a draft can be induced in this manner for Rockefeller. Moreover, by boycotting the primaries he will...
...Barry Goldwater has said, "I would put George Wallace on my payroll." Other Republicans, alarmed by polls that consistently show Wallace drawing twice as many votes away from a Republican ticket as from the President, share Goldwater's suspicion that the White House has been giving Wallace at least tacit support for his third-party movement...
