...incorporating 30 of them into the text, the document was still not tailored to Italian taste by the time the conference wound up last week. Berlinguer signed only the section of the four-part document that dealt with the need for combatting imperialism.

Labedz has propounded a rule that Communist politics "are complicated in inverse proportion to the party's importance in the country"; thus the Ceylonese Communists, who number only 2,300, have proliferated into eight discernible factions...
