...introduction also blamed urban ills on "America's white ruling class" and pollution on consumers. "We are the villains," it said, "because we drive to work in the only transportation system made available by G.M., Ford and Chrysler." The introduction suggested that Americans emulate China's Maoist revolution and find "new methods of distributing the riches of the world, which in fact belong to all human beings, not only to the Rockefellers, Fords, Du Ponts, Mellons, Rothschilds and their like...

One has been organized by the Maoist New People's Army, with perhaps 1,500 combat cadres, operating In Isabela province on Luzon Island in the far north of the country. The other is a resistance movement among Moslems in the southern island of Mindanao and on the jewel-like tropical islands of the Sulu Archipelago. While the Maoists have been thrown on the defensive, martial...
