...ideological crisis, not quite capable of suppression, thus haunts our polity. Even if the U.S. can force the rest of the world to love our brand of democracy--dubious after Viet Nam--do our people have the stomach to support terrorist means to achieve libertarian ends? If not, those who have made foreign policy uninterruptedly since the Second World War seem to fear, then we will be reduced to a role versus the Soviets and Chinese of a "helpless, pitiful giant." Nixon, the author of that phase, and the nation's best pro football fan, would know better than anyone...
...committee urged the passage of laws limiting intelligence probes to terrorist action and hostile foreign espionage when there was a clear-cut and immediate danger, and the threat is certainly there. Of the 1,079 Soviet officials assigned to the U.S. in 1975, more than 60% were intelligence agents according...

Apparently slipping across the Mozambique border, black terrorists roamed 85 miles inside Rhodesia, killed three whites, wounded two, and severed the only direct railroad link to South Africa. It was the deepest penetration...
...railroad-which is now patrolled by security guards on foot-was back in operation within 24 hours. But the terrorist attack will probably be costly to Rhodesia's already struggling economy; it could discourage visitors from South Africa, who contribute heavily to Rhodesia's $40 million-a-year tourist industry. The incidents also clearly illustrated the vulnerability of Rhodesia's lifelines to South Africa, which have become even more important since Mozambique closed its borders with Rhodesia last month (see following story). In fact, Salisbury now depends on the South African rail link...
