"It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with black supremacy or hating whites," says John McDermott, head of Chicago's Catholic Interracial Council, "but it can go sour in that...
Napoleonic Parallels. De Gaulle's visit began auspiciously enough with the warmest reception accorded any Western visitor in Soviet history. Seven MIG fighters locked in wingtip-to-wingtip formation escorted De Gaulle's plane to its landing.

...Chinese tanks and MIGs to rifles. But Bhutto's approach also helped bring an end to U.S. economic assistance a year ago, and eventually the pinch began to hurt. In the best tradition of middle-of-theroadmanship, Ayub began to veer back toward the West, beginning with a visit to Washington last December. Bhutto did not approve, and more and more Ayub turned elsewhere for counsel. In announcing Bhutto's departure, Ayub, who will take over the Foreign Ministry portfolio himself, insisted that it would lead to no change in Pakistan's foreign policy which, he said...
