Kelman has since continued to promulgate his peculiar brand of conservative socialism. His second book, Behind the Berlin Wall, is an account of a two-month stay during 1971 in East Germany. Constant fear haunts our intrepid hero as he risks millenial jail terms to uncover the truth about Communism. He cleverly outwits a couple of commissars who accompany him, and returns to report that things are not good in East Germany: everything breaks all the time, there are not enough refrigerators, telephones or good razor blades--and besides, the people are not free...

Actually, the job is far less difficult than the massive earlier withdrawal of troops; more than 70,000 men, for example, were pulled out in a two-month period early in 1972.

Fidel Castro was less than complimentary when Houari Boumedienne replaced Ahmed Ben Bella as leader of revolutionary Algeria seven years ago. "A pimp," was the Cuban Premier's unbowdlerized estimate of Boumedienne. "A reactionary gorilla." Last week, as Castro visited Algeria in the course of a two-month hegira through Africa and the East bloc, Boumedienne had become "a great strategist" and Algeria under his rule was "a just society...
