...headline in the University of Oregon's student newspaper said STU DENTS CONDONE MARIJUANA USE. But when the district attorney asked Daily Emerald Managing Editor Annette Buchanan just who the students in her story were, she refused to say. It was not that Annette did not know. She simply thought that the right to silence was part of the freedom of the press. And last week she said she would stick by that right, come law or high water...
Seen on a soft spring night, the luminous spires of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha seem to float over Bangkok scarcely touched by the blare of traffic, the neon slashes of bars and the ragged hurly-burly of mainland Southeast Asia's largest city. So too does the Kingdom of Thailand, proud heir to virtually seven centuries of uninterrupted independence, seem to soar above the roiling troubles of the region all around it.

Passing Marine patrols and their frequent guests were greeted by smiling "hello-okays" from the hamlet's neatly dressed children. Ap Quang Nam's market bustled with black-pajama-clad women, hunkered down to argue prices. One band of men and women sifted gravel to sell to a Danang construction firm-the village's latest self-help project. Each day Navy medical corpsmen held a clinic for boils and bruises, passed out soap, administered an occasional injection...
