...labeled "ghosts and monsters" who follow the "black line." The difficulty of distinguishing friendly from unfriendly posters, especially when nearly all invoke the blessing of Mao for their point of view, has led to a special sub-jargon. It warns against those "leftist in name, rightist in reality" who "wave the red flag to oppose the red flag." It also warns against "those who listen superficially" to the words of Mao but, in fact, are working against him. "The red ocean is a big plot" is an attack on a particularly dirty tactic in poster warfare: some anti-Maoists have...
...reaction to the passion and the bloodletting of World War I was a wave of idealistic pacifism. When World War II came 21 years later, the Allies went into it reluctantly, grimly and without elation, faced with an evil as obvious and inarguable as evil can ever be. Even scrupulous moralists agree that World War II was the closest thing to a just war in modern times. And yet, in retrospect, the means were horrifying. The saturation bombings of Hamburg, Dresden and Berlin were designed primarily to kill and demoralize civilians. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified...
...daily newsmagazine, to encompass all human activity. The show did not shake down overnight, though, as film clips from a nostalgic anniversary program last week made embarrassingly evident.

Then Newsman John Chancellor (now director of the Voice of America) took over in a 14-month interregnum that...
...Back in October 1965, the nation's aluminum industry announced price increases, only to back down when the inflation-wary Johnson Administration threatened to dump Government stockpiles on the open market. Last week, following a wave of price hikes on other basic metals, major aluminum producers decided to try again. This time the Administration reacted through Gardner Ackley, the President's chief economic adviser, who criticized what he called an "ill-timed sequence of price increases...
Still Pressuring. By cashing in its dollars for bullion at a $54-million-a-month rate, France has aggravated the U.S. gold drain, weakened confidence in paper currency in general, and touched off a worldwide wave of speculation in gold. The resulting gold scarcity has left the free world's official monetary reserves-for the most part bullion and dollars-annoyingly tight. Last week the International Monetary Fund reported that worldwide reserves increased by a scant $460 million during the first nine months...
