...Chung Hee Park, the nine nations agreed to form a loose association to be called the Asian and Pacific Council. Eschewing a formal treaty, ASPAC's founders modestly limited their aims to consultation on economic and cultural matters. But it was the kind of friendly grouping that could develop into a new Asian and Pacific bloc in the United Nations. The foreign ministers will assemble again next year in Bangkok. Meanwhile, committees will weigh the feasibility of such cooperative ventures as a common commodities and fertilizer bank and a pool of technicians to be shared among the nine...
...Boston, Episcopal Father Scott Paradise works mostly with the Ph.D.s who man the burgeoning research and development industry; with them, he poses issues that are far more speculative. Sample problem: A company has been offered a contract to develop an artificial organ that could prolong life. One key problem is that a lubricant must be added to the patient's blood; while preliminary tests indicate that it is probably harmless, it might possibly affect a patient's mental stability. Since the contract calls for human experimentation, should the company accept the deal, and how should it carry through...
Like a Chameleon. It often seems that way. Durable Unilever has been a father figure in African enterprise since Lord Leverhulme, founder of the firm's British branch, in 1911 won a concession from Belgium's King Leopold II to develop a 1,875,000-acre plantation in the Congo.

Lyndon Johnson's former protege is awfully civic-minded, though. He thinks the Federal Government, for example, ought to develop nearby Assateague Island into "a major recreation center." Baker even offered to help the locals fund the project. "I know how to get federal money," he said, "if they'll listen to me." That sounds ominous...
...most likely to fail for this reason. Man's specific problem, as he sees it, is that in the state of nature he was not a very aggressive animal. On the contrary, it was so hard for one primitive man to kill another that nature never bothered to develop an instinctual safeguard against homicide. Then all at once, with the aid of his powerful brain, man discovered weapons; and with the aid of weapons a creature created for flight was abruptly transformed into a creature equipped to attack. Unprohibited by instinct, man more and more effectively attacked members...
