Tranquillity

Scholarly Vladimir Koretsky, Soviet professor of international law, was worried about Western notions of free speech and other rights of man last week. In a quiet corner at Lake Success, where a U.N. committee is trying to draft an International Bill of Rights, Koretsky scented a tendency to put the individual ahead of the state.

Said Koretsky, speaking theoretically: "Man should have no rights that place him in opposition to the community. Man opposed to the community is nothing."

Far from Lake Success, another Soviet-trained theoretician--Bulgaria's heavy-lidded Communist Boss Georgi Dimitrov --explained how this doctrine worked in applied Bulgarian politics. Said Dimitrov (in a busy week in which his government ousted 23 more opposition deputies): "We will have peace and tranquillity for creative labor. Whoever stands in our way . . . will go behind bars."
