...their fear of the Chinese and their anger at the American tilt toward Peking, Soviets appear somewhat more sanguine about their ability to contain what some still call "the yellow peril" than they did a decade ago. Says Alexander Yakovlev, a leading Sinologist at Moscow's Institute for the Study of the Far East: "China does not have the military strength to threaten world peace on its own, and even the military and economic aid of the U.S. and other Western countries will not make a big difference...
Meanwhile, the EIBL season heads into its final weekend with Harvard and Cornell tied for the league lead at 8-3. On Friday, the Big Red invades Soldiers Field for a 3 p.m. tilt which could end up deciding the title. Saturday, the Crimson hosts Army in a 1 p.m. twinbill to wrap up the 1980 regular season...

Nor does he take into account widespread American economic imperialism, often depriving Third World peasants even of the very soil under their feet (see Food First,) by Lappe and Collins). All evil is from the Soviet camp, he argues. Therefore he will not apologize to Iran even for the sake of 50 American lives; and when I asked him why not, after his talk, he cited...
