...After receiving a detailed, classified briefing on Thailand affairs, a U.S. State Department officer in Bangkok read our May 27, 1966 cover story on the Thai King and Queen. He found the story more comprehensive than the briefing, including much information considered quite inside by Thai authorities. Reports Bangkok Bureau Chief Louis Kraar: "Many military officers assigned to Thailand say they have used the story as orientation because it was just about the only thing that was both complete and current, yet concise." ¶ On five-acre Pigeon Island in the South Pacific, Tom Hepworth, who runs a trading post...
Last week the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that consumer prices rose by 0.3% in August, reversing the normal trend for that month. Wholesale prices also rose by 0.3%. If Congress fails to pass a tax rise, the independent Federal Reserve Board may well restrict credit-as it did in similar circumstances last year-and perhaps make tight money an even bigger election-year issue than higher taxes. Fast-rising prices do not make for friendly voters either. As obnoxious as these alternatives may be in Washington, they have yet to exert any lubricating effect on the stalemate between Lyndon...
From the air, reported TIME'S Houston Bureau Chief Ben Gate, the region was a churning, chocolate sea of muck that overwhelmed scores of communities in its path and obliterated every landmark within hundreds of square miles.

Evacuees far exceeded 100,000 by week's end, and estimates of the homeless went as high as 1,000,000. The full death toll will not be known until the flood...
Lights Out & On. Mr. Marcuss' thought process was doubtless properly sharpened. But sharp or not, most students do not shirk. Legal Aid Bureau President Deanne Siemer spends an irreducible six hours every day on studies outside of class-and outside of her voluminous extracurricular legal-aid work. "All of the kids work pretty hard, particularly in the first year," agrees Jay Becker, who compiled the school's first confidential critique of courses and professors (sample blasts: "Gave me an absurdly high grade. Disorganized. Wears white socks." "Lecturer is beneath the usual intellectual level of Harvard professors." "Zzzzzz."). Academic...
...also the hope of getting into one of the three honor societies-law review, board of legal advisers, and legal aid. Admittance to the honoraries has long been strictly on the basis of grades. Now, in line with general dissatisfaction over the emphasis placed on marks, the Legal Aid Bureau has accepted a few members on the basis of other qualifications, and the law review and board of student advisers are studying the feasibility of doing the same...
