...Number of KKK members, of course, is secret. No wonder. Most of these Klansmen are older men, and the Klan's recent attempts to pretend that it is a political lobby like any other have been a transparent failure. "Let's face it," Wilkinson later tells me privately. "We had a couple of million members in the '20s, but we haven't got anywhere near that now. We just want to get the same attention from the press that the blacks...
Even if Moscow's concession on MBFR turns out to be genuine, there are still a number of thorny issues to be resolved. For example, Western experts wonder whether the Warsaw Pact states will admit to having 950,000 ground troops in Central Europe.

The decor is, in a word, crummy (in two words, very crummy), but you can go somewhere else to digest, right? Two warnings: stay away from the place...
...granted by the Belgians in 1960. But other problems, as for example the rampant corruption at every level, have grown worse during the twelve-year rule of President Mobutu. Says a ranking Western diplomat in Kinshasa: "We really question whether we are negotiating with people who are serious. We wonder how many of those around Mobutu are concerned with anything other than filling their pockets and making travel plans out of the country...
