This week, in Bohemian Grove, a camp site 65 miles north of San Francisco, the top few hundred of the US ruling class are gathering to discuss and lay plans.

Last year 15 out of the 25 biggest manufacturing companies, 14 of the 25 top insurance companies, and 20 of 25 leading banks were represented there by at least one board member. This year as always, there will be a similar turnout from business, plus the President and leading figures of his administration.

Apart from campfire caucuses, there will be formal talks from such people as World Bank chief Tom Clausen and Henry Kissinger.

Officially they are all on holiday. But Justin Dart, chairman of Dart-Kraft Inc., says: "How can you separate the man who is Defence Secretary from his job? He's there in a Defence Department capacity."

What is notable about the recent incidents is the way the Protestant attack in Ballinahinch triggeed the Catholic attack in Drumaness.

However it started, Paisley.

The National Front has repeatedly tried to gain a base in Northern Ireland, but has never managed to gain more than an insecure foothold.

They recently made another try and got an audience of 100 mainly shaven-headed youth to a meeting at the Diamond in Protestant Coleraine. Martin Webster spoke and so did Young National Front Feuhrer Joe Pearse, just out of a British jail for inciting racial hatred.

Pearse was in good form: he said the British army should be taken off the leash 'to chase the IRA scum out of the ratholes where they live and shoot and hang them." Then he said , he hoped his audience will 'be ready to fight the black invasion of Ulster when it comes as well as the IRA"!
