Finishing Him Off. Without raising his voice, Kosygin attacked NATO, ("Why are you arming West Germany and setting her against us?"); colonialist imperialism ("In countries which have not yet freed themselves from the imperialist yoke there is colonial slavery, worse perhaps than under the Roman Empire"); and the notion of a Johnson-Kosygin meeting ("Not feasible" until after the war in Viet Nam is resolved). On Viet Nam itself, Kosygin was amazingly ill-informed ("You have more than 100,000 troops there, and you are sending another...
...Martin Luther King brought cheers by reminding the crowd of her husband's long fight for civil rights. She disclaimed experience in foreign affairs but warned "the experts" that "bombings only make an oppressed people more determined to throw off the yoke of oppression...

This droll biography casts Omar Sharif as the greedy Mongol conqueror, and suggests that his greed was all for the good. In his youth, cruelly confined by his enemies to a doughnut-shaped yoke, the future Khan keeps his eye upon the whole of Asia, plus adjacent territories. He dreams idealistically not of sacking, plundering, pillaging and rape, but of a large barbarian Camelot in which every man will be a Mongol or a Mongol's brother. Opposed to progress is the evil Jamuga...
