...divide the extremists into two categories: violent and "socalled" nonviolent. The first embraces those who advocate and practice arson, fire bombing and destruction of property; also skyjackers, prison rioters and people who threaten public officials or distribute publications urging revolution.

...eight heroin factories and extensive warehousing facilities for independent operators. One narcotics agent who has studied Lo carefully told TIME'S Peter Simms: "You could take your opium to Lo and get a warehouse receipt that was as good in Tachilek as a First National City Bank draft is in New York. His chemists would analyze your opium, tell you the cost and give you an exact delivery date after processing.
