...Dominican Republic, the hemisphere's most explosive spot, there were bothersome new signs of unrest. Red China is claiming that Mao-think is inspiring the Dominican masses to revolt. More realistically, President Joaquin Balaguer puts the blame on Castro. After a number of shootings and bombings in Santo Domingo, Balaguer last week ordered army and naval units into the city to hold down violence, went on the radio to warn that hundreds of Communists are trying to foment a revolution to overthrow his ten-month-old regime and to topple the country into another civil...
SNCC's sensitivity to the developing Negro activism on Northern campuses showed a still present line of communication between SNCC and students. Yet Carmichael's misreading of this unrest and his resultant inability to enlist 24-hour soldiers clearly reveals the distance between SNCC and the Negro on campus. The Harvard-Radcliffe Association of African and Afro-American Students typifies the new character of Negro activism.

...that the changes-particularly the one limiting participating of the poor on local boards-will reduce the program's value as a tool for "trying, testing and learning." Even so, they are unlikely to silence opposition from Republicans or Southern Democrats who accuse poverty agencies of fomenting local unrest.

Capitalizing on the low-income white voter's alarm at Negro unrest, Wallace won 30% of the vote in the 1964 Indiana presidential primary, 34% in Wisconsin, an amazing 43% in Maryland. Given a few major ghetto riots this summer, some rabble-rousing black-power speeches by Stokely Carmichael and a few more statements from Martin Luther King comparing the U.S. role in Viet Nam to Hitler's in Europe, Wallace might even improve on that performance. But he has failed to win the expected backing of Georgia's Governor Lester Maddox. Moreover, Wallace's favorite...
...German-allied, countries of Eastern Europe during World War II contributed considerably to their popularity in 1945. A number of developments after the war, however, led to a return of disillusionment in the Soviet Union, and the beginning of disillusionment in the new communist states in Eastern Europe--unrest caused by opportunities for young Soviet soldiers to observe life in the West, the disappointment of many at the failure of the Soviet regime to continue its relaxation of the extensive pre-war controls, and the failure of the communists in Eastern Europe to provide a free, democratic alternative...
