...Bantherng Abdulbutr, also from Pattani, called on the Thai government to appoint new provincial administrators. "The present trouble," he explained, "is that during the past ten years, the population of these provinces has increased quickly, resulting in more competition for jobs among wage earners. Since residents depend mainly on rubber," he continued, "they suffered greatly during the last decade as rubber prices dropped drastically, leading to substantial unemployment and such social problems as banditry...
Fear and Coercion. The campus was outraged by Tongyai's apparent provocations, the town by the students' unruly behavior. The furor persuaded Governor Nelson Rockefeller to appoint a special grand jury. It heard testimony that Tongyai had been involved in a fire-bombing of Hobart's ROTC headquarters several weeks before the drug arrests.

Production of the cars will continue, though possibly under a change of ownership; Britain's Jensen Motors Ltd. is likely...
Finally, it would be a pity if this incident would provide an occasion for self-righteousness on either side. It is not insignificant to recall that Harvard refused to offer an academic appointment to DuBois. not because of his intellectual distinction-which to the credit of the University, was recognized in important respects-but because it was not conceivable at the turn of the century to appoint any black to the Harvard faculty. In the final analysis, are Harvard and the society at large any less to blame that developments have come to such a pass? I wonder...
