...constructed-all of sand. The egregious corruption of his regime angered Burma's small middle class, and when he established Buddhism as the state religion, the non-Buddhist 15% of the population was understandably outraged. By 1958, U Nu's rather whimsical administration was in such disarray that he voluntarily stepped aside to give Ne Win, his tough army chief, a chance to set things straight. U Nu returned to power in 1960 in a landslide election victory. But in 1962, Ne Win threw him out in a lightning coup, jailed 2,000 dissidents, put the country under...
...despite the unsettling novelty of losing to Columbia, it is unlikely that the Crimson returned to Cambridge in the same state of emotional disarray that marked the aftermath of last year's Cornell game. At that time, when the glories of the 1968 season were still fresh in the squad's mind, every loss came as a shock. That is not the case now.

...buildup, says Israel, could occur only in the absence of the Israeli air force's withering campaign on the Egyptian side of the canal. The almost constant bombing and strafing, which caused an estimated 1,000 casualties each month, reportedly left many Egyptian army units in near disarray-and even caused some Soviet soldiers to refuse duty near the canal. Moscow's answer was to give increasingly heavy command responsibility to Russian soldiers. At the time of the ceasefire, according to authoritative Israeli estimates, Russians controlled all of Egypt's missiles and computers, four strategic air-bases...
