11) Ferdinand Marcos, the dictator of the Phillipines, is another mini-Nixon from the Third World. Marcos declared permanent martial law last year to deal with a 'nattonal emergency,' an uprising among allegedly 'Moslem fanatics' in the southernmost island of the nation. Although news reports from the revolutionary zones have been scarce, it seems reasonable to surmise that something more than a mere religious quarrel is prompting the revolt.

12) Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.). Scott, the Senate minority leader, has backed every Nixon scheme that has come down the turnpike. He has been especially vocal about Vietnam policy. He may just be a loyal careerist, but that defense did not help Adolf Eichmann.

13) Francisco Franco, the dictator of Spain, has been in the top 20 for almost 40 years. They say his regime has liberalized a bit since it overthrew a socialist government in the bloody Spanish Civil War and instituted a series of harsh policies. Still, he belongs on the list, even if only for his past crimes.

14) Elliot L. Richardson '41, attorney general. Richardson has carried the ball for Number 1's game plan many times. Most monstrous was his defense several months ago of the Cambodian bombing. Richardson, in his previous incarnation as secretary of Defense, told the Senate in effect that Number 1 could ignore the Constitution's provisions that only Congress could make war.

15) Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss.). Eastland, a professional racist, has from his post atop the Senate's powerful Judiciary Committee opposed even the mildest measures for racial justice. He doubles as a gentleman farmer: his huge Mississippi plantations receive the Agriculture Department's highest annual acreage payments.

16) Balthazar J. Vorster, prime minister of South Africa. Racism and repression are a way of life in Vorster's country, and he is considered a hardliner even by South African standards.

17) George Papadopoulos, the dictator of Greece. The Greek colonels overthrew the democracy in 1967, and last month's decree abolishing the token monarchy and proclaiming a constitutional republic had about as much meaaing as a speech by Number 1 linking the words 'Vietnam' and 'peace.' Torture and repression continue in the U.S.-backed regime.

18) Georges Pompidou, the president of France. Reactionary Gaullism without de Gaulle continues under Pompidou, the general's successor and former right hand man. The rumblings of worker and student discontent which erupted in May 1968 were heard again last spring, sparking hopes that revolution in advanced nations may eventually become a reality.

19) Juan Maria Bordaberry, former president and present dictator of Uruguay. Bordaberry shot into the top 20 last week as "State of Seige" became a reality. His police and soldiers are presently breaking a general strike and unveiling their version of fascist dictatorship.

20) Lon Nol, the dictator of Cambodia. Lon Nol, if all goes well, will be off the list a few days after August 15, when the American bombing that has kept him in power against the wishes of several hundred thousand freedom fighters is ended.

The above list is unfortunately not exhaustive: the evil in the world could scarcely be captured in a list of 20 names. It is also not meant as a guide for future action: even if the top 20 were all banished to a prison colony near the South Pole, revolutionary change would not follow. The present structure of world politics insures that the 20 would be succeeded by another 20 very much like them. History, as the Nixon list-makers seem not to realize, is made by classes and groups of people, not a handful of leaders and spokesmen.
