...Bukharin, unshaken in his commitment to the Russian revolution, but confronted with the failure of the opposition to Stalin, achieving a political stance was more difficult. Condemned as a traitor, he determined both to admit, indeed, to help the Prosecutor establish, that in his untimely opposition to Stalin, he was no better than a traitor. At the same time, he tried to deny with all the irony and passion still left to him that he was in fact in the service of a foreign country. That this denial was in Merleau-Ponty's account, so difficult to make...
...Gaddafi's demand that they abandon their bases in Libya, hoping that one result would be to persuade the Libyan army to buy British Chieftain tanks. Even the U.S. seems to be improving its image a bit, possibly because most of the Arab leaders are gradually beginning to admit that Washington's policy is no longer wholly pro-Israel.

We do not really need to certify more than that, and in fact we do not now. A "major" has no professional importance anyway...
RACE. The rising level of crime frightens the Middle American, and when he speaks of crime, though he does not like to admit it, he means blacks. On the one hand, Middle America largely agrees with the advances toward equality made by blacks in the past ten years. Says Robert Rosenthal, an insurance auditor in New York City: "Sure, I know it's only a handful of Negroes who are causing the trouble. Most of them are the same as whites." His daughter Nancy, 17, attends a school that is 60% black, and she expresses both the adaptability and anxiety...
