...little resemblance to the drab and sullen nation glimpsed by Richard Nixon in 1972 and Gerald Ford three years later. The giant billboards that once displayed Mao's quotations now bear gaudy advertisements for cameras, calculators and computers. The farming communes of the countryside, that ubiquitous trademark of the Maoist republic, have in effect been dismantled. Like the imposing façade of the main gate to Peking's Forbidden City, which is shrouded by scaffolding, all China is undergoing a radical facelift...
Whether other armed movements will follow F.A.R.C.'s example and negotiate similar agreements with the government remains to be seen. These include the 200-man, Castro-backed Army of National Liberation (E.L.N.), and the 275-member Maoist Popular Liberation Army (E.P.L.). Together with F.A.R.C., these groups are blamed for Colombia's leading the world in kidnapings during each of the past two years (183 in 1982 and 215 last year). Another problem is how to control right-wing death squadrons like the Death to Kidnapers (M.A.S.) group. Last year these squads were held responsible for the killing...

Please do not try to sell China to the American people by suggesting otherwise...

Ever since Belaúnde's election in 1980, the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), a shadowy group of self-styled Maoist guerrillas, has tyrannized the area around the picturesque Andean town of Ayacucho, some 350 miles southeast of Lima. Under the pretext of defying capitalism and central authority, the insurgents have attacked isolated police stations and assassinated villagers suspected of informing against them. In January, Belaúnde sent a 3,500-man task force to Ayacucho to deter...
...economic formula is the "responsibility system" approved last September by the congress of the Communist Party, which meets periodically to decide government policy. Many of the old Maoist economic shibboleths, including the idea that incentives should not be used to promote productivity, have been cast aside. Instead, in keeping with Deng's dictum that "a cat, whether black or white, is a good one as long as it catches mice," the government has turned to such capitalistic devices as bonuses, commissions and competition to rejuvenate China's sluggish economy...
