...East Germany look wonderful?" Benkhedda himself, although he distrusts Soviet-policy, has occasionally spouted Red cliches. He has compared Algeria's struggle with France to Latin America's struggle against "North American imperialism." As for Cuba, "the Americans cannot pardon Fidel Castro for having thrown off the yoke of Yankee trusts and monopolies." If the F.L.N. pushes its promised land reforms and its collective approach to the task of. rebuilding and industrializing the country, independent Algeria will demand of its people the kind of discipline and sacrifices that only a Communist regime can maintain.

"October? What's that?" cracks a writer. "Our calendar now has only eleven months." For him, free expression died in 1959, when Gomulka's party men took over the Writers' Union and choked off the "deviationists" with threats and a "shortage" of newsprint...
...prison only sharpened Djilas' opposition to the abuses of the Communist system. In his notable book, The New Class, smuggled out to Western publishers, Djilas wrote: "The totalitarian tyranny and control of the new class which came into being during the revolution has become the yoke under which the blood and sweat of all members of society flow." As chief controller of the new class, Tito was forced to take the remark personally; his court ordered seven more years added to Djilas' sentence...
