...feel that when you mix the question of Viet Nam into the question of Mississippi and Alabama and getting the registration and vote and employment and all the things the American Negroes want in this country, you sort of confuse the issue." Later, Wilkins expanded on his theme: "I don't believe civil rights groups have enough information on Viet Nam, or on foreign policy, to make it their cause. I don't think you can run a country with 196 million Secretaries of State...
...after an intensive course in subversive techniques at Moscow's University of the Toilers of the East (during which he established the beginnings of a close friendship with Stalin), Ho struck the theme that would resound throughout his career. Addressing the Fifth Comintern Congress that summer, he took European Communists to task for failing to appreciate the potential for revolution in underdeveloped areas. "You will forgive my frankness," he said, "but I cannot avoid explaining that the speeches of my comrades from the mother countries have given me the impression that they are trying to kill a snake...
Grilled Ambassador. Boumedienne's Algeria-for-Algerians theme could hardly have cheered a score of "liberation" movements that had found funds and asylum in Algeria while battling colonialism in "oppressed" lands from the Congo to the Canary Islands.

"That's the idea," says Episcopal Father Charles Gompertz, who persuaded Guaraldi to undertake the Musical Setting. "What does Communion represent but the Last Supper-the last time...
...High Wind in Jamaica is a family picture with a ferocious theme. Like the quasi-classic novel written 36 years ago by British Author Richard Hughes, it is on the surface a conventional tale of piracy, kidnaping, and adventure on the high seas. And like the corrosive original, its deeper purpose is to fathom the psyches of seven stolen children whose innocence is only skin deep. Blood kin to the tykes in Henry James's Turn of the Screw or William Golding's Lord of the Flies, they are remote, ritualistic, amoral-natives of a savage Lilliput that...
