...well become something of a model for other South American countries. More than 1 million of the country's 15 million people received their own plots of land or have become members of land-owning cooperatives under the plan. Unlike Salvador Allende Gossens' ill-fated government in Chile, Peru managed to nationalize U.S. petroleum and copper companies without incurring American sanctions. The country, moreover, has enjoyed economic progress under military rule, with an annual growth rate of 5%, although countless Peruvian poor in the Lima slums still subsist outside the economy. Though some militant political parties are banned...

Some metal-exporting countries -mainly Zaire, Chile and Zambia -want the world to forget about ocean mining altogether. Most other developing nations, however, want the proposed seabed authority to develop the deposits of manganese nodules, and then return 100% of the profits to them.

All the industrial powers, including the U.S., object to the idea that they should make the investments, provide the technology and take the risks for the benefit of the poor countries. Their counterproposal: the international authority should set rules for deep-sea mining, license...
Just as when Salvadore Allende was deposed and murdered in Chile last fall, the United States knew well in advance that the Greek junta intended to purge Makarios's government and set up its own puppet regime. Since November, when the Greek military ousted President George Papodopoulos, the State Department has received continued warnings of the junta's intentions. This spring, Makarios accused the Greek officers of the Cypriot National Guard of supplying arms and inspiration to a group of Cypriot terrorists fighting for union with Greece. Two weeks ago, he ordered the removal of all Greek officers from Cyprus...
