...whereas democrat government and worker self-rule are clearly in- tolerable--and will not be tolerated. I would contend that what they illustrate of a truth we should have understood a very long time ago: that Communism is fascism successful fascism if you will... Communism is in itself a Variant the most successful variant, of fascism." "The Lesson of Poland." Susan Sontag, January...
...Communism is fascism," Sontag told a New York City rally called last month to demonstrate left-wing support for Poland's Solidarity movement. "Not only is fascism and overt military rule probably the destiny of all Communist countries, but Communism is in itself a variant, the most successful variant, of fascism. Fascism with a human face."

B-52Gs and B-52Hs (and eventually B-1s) will carry more than 3000 cruise missiles beginning 1982. Existing KC-135 aerial tankers will receive new engines. I thoroughly support the deployment of 3000 cruise missiles on the B-52s, but believe that since the B-52s launch their cruise missiles from outside Soviet airspace, only the missiles have to penetrate Soviet air defenses, diminishing the need for a penetrating...
NATO-in-Crisis (the calmer variant: NATO-in-Disarray) has for long years been a staple of journalism and think-tank colloquia. The crisis story was always halfway true, because of the fundamental divergences and imbalances within the alliance, but now the story is also serious, because the desire to overcome the divergences has been significantly weakened...
