Because we are refugees, we have also had a lot of contact with the outside world. The concept of Tibet has become much clearer. Earlier, partly because of Chinese propaganda and also because we were so isolated, people thought of Tibet as a mysterious Shangri-la. Now, after 40 years, that misconception has been cleared. Since we are all struggling together, there is much more unity among Tibetans. Earlier, people living in different areas did not have a sense of national unity.

The Russians immediately passed the information on to the Serbs, who scored their most important propaganda victory of the war in downing the supposedly undetectable plane. The spy was reportedly arrested days later, and is still being held in secret according to military rules...
...tortured before the interview as a warning, and afterward as a punishment, until he nearly lost his mind. His blinking the word torture was not to meant to explain why he had given a prepared propaganda statement, as he had not. Rather, it was to cover the possibility that the communists would dub in words to replace his own defiant words and explain why he had agreed to be interviewed. My father received the highest Navy award, the Navy Cross, for his heroic words of defiance, not for his clever blinking. JAMES S. DENTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Freedom House Washington...
