DETENTE. Using rhetoric with a 1950s, Red-baiting ring, he regards Communism as "a form of insanity [that] is contrary to human nature." He is deeply suspicious of dealing with the Soviet Union. Last week he told TIME Correspondent John Austin: "Detente has been a one-way street that the Soviets have used to continue moving toward the Marxist goal of a socialist, one-world state." He contends that the Russians are trying to achieve nuclear superiority over the U.S. in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

...free-speech issue was particularly easy for him. He simply saw no exceptions to the First Amendment's command. With the late Hugo Black, he filed unwavering dissents in sedition and related cases during the McCarthy era, although he condemned Communism's "miserable merchants of unwanted ideas."

The U.S., which is increasing military aid to Zaire from $3.8 million to $38.4 million this year, supplies money and arms to the movement through the CIA, as the recent revelations about the agency...
...death of Franco will end an epoch for both Spain and Europe. Long the Continent's most reviled pariah, Franco was a haunting, living reminder that the West had failed to act decisively during the Spanish Civil War, when the forces of Communism, Fascism and democracy confronted each other in what turned out to be a dress rehearsal for World War II. In the postwar years, Franco confounded his numerous critics by taming a naturally rebellious nation that had spawned anarchy and by bringing Spanish society into the modern industrial age (see following story).
