...This fear of local independence inspired a blistering attack last week by Moscow's Problems of Peace and Socialism, an official party journal, which condemned Albania (and by implication, Red China) for pursuing "narrow, nationalistic, egoistic interests." The magazine also denounced the Albanian government as a "regime of terror." The world was thus witnessing the extraordinary spectacle of two Communist states hurling at each other the kind of blasts they ordinarily reserve for the West. Radio Moscow accused Albania of mass arrests and purges in which a pregnant woman Communist leader opposed to Dictator Enver Hoxha was executed. Hoxha...
...S.A.O. has turned this war into a three-way madness; most of the S.A.O.'s terror is directed against the Moslems, but they are also ready to strike at those Europeans who oppose Salan. The overwhelming majority goes along with him?either out of conviction or fear of reprisals. That support might well collapse if the French army in Algeria were to side decisively with De Gaulle. For the present, Algeria's Europeans, a melodramatic people, often say that their only choice is "the suitcase or the coffin"?to pack their bags and leave, or fight to the death...
Chief of operations for Salan is Colonel Yves Godard, a paratrooper who escaped from a Nazi prison camp on his third try, fought as a Resistance leader in France, and served with distinction in Indo-China and Algeria. Since New Year's Day, when Godard's terror squads swung into coordinated action 347 people have been killed in Algeria and 624 wounded. In his most impressive exploit to date, Godard smashed the special 100-man anti-S.A.O. commando unit that was sent from Paris to go after Godard with his own terror tactics. Last October, Godard was picked...
Next morning the young African students were herded onto a terrace, as if to watch a show. First, 18 of the priests were whipped and brought before the terror-stricken audience. Then, as the children watched in horror, the soldiers shouted. "Now you will see how your priests die," and opened fire with their tommy guns. "Pray for us!" cried the priests before they died. This was not the end; when all were dead, the savage troops grabbed knives and dismembered the bodies, gouging out the eyes and carving voodoo symbols on the corpses as well. When it was finally...
Shawn's oyster rather than an uncrackable egg. The shiver of terror that should accompany the transformation of the timidest soul into the tawdriest heel is thus lost. In scenes of inane family cackle, and in the spectacle of a cuckolded husband applauding his wife flagrante delicto ("Congratulations, Heloise. You're getting better every time"), Playwright Marceau approaches the existential nausea toward life that animates the "theater of the absurd" (TIME, Dec. 22). Sartre and Camus have obviously influenced Marceau, but the guiding philosophy behind Broadway's Egg seems to be Minsky...
