Greece may be unpopular with other European governments, but it has never been more popular with European and American travelers. After a downturn in tourism in the wake of the 1967 military takeover, a record 1.3 million visitors are expected to flock to Greece's shores this summer, a 24% increase over 1969. The surge has given new impetus to Greece's economic boom. According to official estimates in Athens, the nation's growth rate in 1970 will equal or surpass last year's impressive 8%. Partly in a mood of gathering confidence and partly...
Peking Pentagon. Huang's own career reflects the rise of the military in the wake of the catastrophic Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. When Mao launched the revolution in 1966, he hoped to smash the old order and build a new society that would rest partly on the army, partly on a reinvigorated party, and partly on a new generation of Maoist youth.

There are anarchists who, beneath their dirty denim shirts, are outrageous conformists, and conformists who, beneath their button-down collars, are outrageous anarchists. There are married priests and atheist ministers and Jewish Zen Buddhists. We have...
...Family Stone, Buddy Miles, The Stones, Ten Years After all have the potential to become power suppliers for the domestic front. One could go to sleep by the theme to Marat/Sade "the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor... we want a revolution NOW!" and wake up to thirty minutes of repeated portions of "We're Not Gonna Take It" from The Who's Tommy classic rock-opera. One thing is certain: the morning I wake up with tanks in front of me, Guard beside me, and pigs behind me, the last thing I want to hear is some...
