Even that formula leaves a large group of potential captives unaccounted for. By previous rules of war, terrorists were regarded as the exception; in Viet Nam, they are the rule, waging a widespread, vicious campaign against a civilian population. Thus they unquestionably forfeit P.W. status if captured. But what, short of an Instant firing line, is to be their fate? The U.S. has decided that to be certified as a terrorist, a suspect must appear before an officer's tribunal (including one military lawyer). Then and only then can he be handed over to the South Vietnamese for civilian...
Algiers treats the rise and fall of the NLF from its genesis to the annihilation of its last leader in 1957. Pontecorvo uses the terrorist uprisings for a massive dramatic narrative centering on several NLF leaders and the French colonel who sets out to destroy them. He splits the film into episodes delineated by newsreel datelines; his camera has a journalist's preoccupation with showing all the action, which takes precedence over clean-cutting or attractive composition. But at no point is Algiers a documentary--even when the high-grain high-contrast film most resembles aged newsreel footage--and ultimately...
Brazen Incursion. As that prospect dimmed in the face of Southern success and stagnation in the North, Kim switched from talking about "peaceful" reunification and declared: "We must accomplish the South Korean revolution and unify the fatherland in our generation."

Police fanned out across the city, soon spotted the green murder car and, after a fierce gun battle, killed Communist Terrorist Leonard Castillo John son, 22, a member of the Castroite Rebel Armed Forces (FAR)-and the boyfriend of the murdered beauty queen. The next morning, the FAR issued a brief bulletin, claiming credit for the murders of Webber and Munro, and posthumously congratulating Castillo as the triggerman who had "brought to justice the Yanqui officers who were teaching tactics to the Guatemalan army for its war against the people...
...Arab leaders are obsessed with the problem of Israel, Saudi Arabia's King Feisal is more worried about his fellow Arabs. In neighboring Yemen, he faces a hostile and radical Republican regime that has constantly attacked him for six years. In South Arabia, also on his borders, the terrorist National Liberation Front recently drove out the pro-Feisal sheiks and sultans, renamed the country South Yemen and immediately cast covetous eyes on the sheikdoms of Muscat and Oman and the oilfields of the Persian Gulf, of which Feisal owns a good share. Everywhere he turns, Feisal sees the threat...
