...Caution. Faced with the insurgency threat, Ne Win has gradually backed off from his old aloof position as a 200% neutral. He now seeks aid wherever he can find it. A Russian mission went to Burma a few months ago and discussed the possibility of a sizable Soviet aid commitment. When Premier Eisaku Sato visited Rangoon earlier this month, Ne Win made a pitch for stepped-up payments of Japanese reparations. German Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger goes to Burma later this month, and Ne Win is expected to ask him for increased German aid. There are also reports in Rangoon about...
...served to create a cowed and dispirited people, its foreign policy over the years has been one of the world's greatest mischiefmakers.

They write government proposals, requesting funds for pilot programs, involving themselves in the agony of the ghetto to the same degree and with the same embarrassed caution that delicate ladies use when they dip their toes into the edges of cold or unfamiliar waters. Denying its historic role of protest, the University of Harvard stands comfortably in brick and ivy on the safe side of the Charles River, enjoying the passage of another football season, and talking politely...
...speculators have been especially active in two most traditional fields: the stock market and the commodities exchanges. "October, this is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks," said Mark Twain. "The others are: July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February." His caution is widely ignored. No fewer than 22 million people own common stocks, far more than ever before, and few among them do not have some sort of speculative ambition. Daily trading on the New York Stock...
