Moscow's continuing allusions to war could be dismissed as so much propaganda if the nuclear threat facing both superpowers were not all too real. After a decade and a half of tortuous talks, the process of arms control is at the moment essentially dead (see following story). Meanwhile, the U.S. and the Soviet Union stand on the threshold of a revolution in nuclear technology that will vastly complicate future negotiations. The U.S. moved a step closer to Star Wars weaponry last week when it successfully tested a new defensive missile...
According to Yallop, the murder was triggered by the Pope's decision to purge the troubled Vatican Bank and cleanse the church of alleged ties with a clandestine Italian Masonic lodge called Propaganda Due, or P2. In breathless prose, the author surveys his lineup of suspects and their supposed motives. There was the late Jean Cardinal Villot, the Vatican Secretary of State, who Yallop claims had learned he would be replaced and who was upset that John Paul was allegedly considering loosening the church's prohibition on artificial birth control; Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, head of the Vatican Bank...
...three men called the press conference, the first in more than a year, to counter recent propaganda by a government-sponsored organization that disingenuously calls itself the Anti-Zionist Committee. Soviet Army General David Dragunsky, the committee's chairman, boasted to reporters last month that "the Zionist hope to lure Jews out of the Soviet Union has collapsed."

He has all major media at his beck and call unlike the students who stood up to his propaganda. This fact alone would not be ample justification for drowning out his comments. However, Weinberger is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Central America. There is no excuse for these murders, and there is no reason why Weinberger's rhetoric should have been tolerated...
...that's true," answers the stranger. "But taken in a historical context, three Olympiads marred by political disputes isn't such a grave development. History goes in cycles it has been said. In 1936, Hitler's regime processed the Munich Games into a format which only exposed his propaganda globally. And World War II prevented the sponsoring of the Games in 1940 and 1944. But, from 1948 until 1972 the Olympics had succeeded in allowing nations temporarily to ignore their political vitality. True, the 1968 and '72 Games had their political incidents, but neither of them signaled the inability...
