...patriotism and not Communism that drew me to Lenin and the Third International," he explained years later on his 70th birthday. "Step by step along the path of the struggle, I came to understand that only Communism could free the oppressed peoples and workers of the world from the yoke of slavery." In Paris just after World War I, Ho hung out in the caves, palled around with a Chinese student named Chou Enlai, wrote pamphlets for the Communist International denouncing the "ugly mug of capitalism," edited a strident, anticolonial weekly called Le Paria (The Untouchable), wrote a bitter, anti...
...Europe des patries are the Eurocrats-the quiet men in Brussels dedicated to creating a truly supranational political Europe atop the already thriving economic union of the Common Market Six. Ever since De Gaulle vetoed British entry into the Common Market in 1963, the Eurocrats have patiently worked to yoke French economic demands to the larger purposes of Europe, and more often than not have succeeded.

Opposed to progress is the evil Jamuga...

Nor is surrender or U.S. withdrawal the answer. "We don't want to surrender, and we don't want to join the slave camp. That is why each and every one of the 30 million people of Thailand support the policy of the United States of standing firm against aggression." As for bombing North Vietnamese targets: "It is a hard decision to have...
icniV ad odranoeL. "The proof of good painting comes when intelligence is part of it," he believes, and adds: "Abstract expressionism was not intellectual at all for me. It is under the yoke of the retinal; I see no grey matter there. Jasper Johns, one of our lights, and Rauschenberg are much more than that; they have intelligence in addition to painting facilities. A technique can be learned, but you can't learn to have an original imagination...
