McArthur gave Rohrshach tests to both groups of 44. His conclusions from these tests were that the people leaving were generally emotionally constricted; able to be classified neither as extroverted nor as introverted, merely as having no emotional effect.

Economists would like the Census Bureau to add more questions to separate the laid...
...rounded up some 200 silk weavers, most of whom had taken up other trades, supplied them with the raw silk and dyes to turn out finished products on their crude home looms. The silks became so popular with the diplomatic colony and tourists (many of whom ask for "Jim Thompson's place" as soon as they arrive in Bangkok) that Thompson quickly expanded, in 1950 formed his own company with $12,000 capital. Though he is its biggest stockholder, he took pains to make the company a Thai enterprise, accepted only four Americans among his 36 stockholders. His company...
