Many of his fellow Cambodians, however, are setting fed up. With the cutoff of $10 million a year in U.S. military aid 13 months ago, Sihanouk's army has missed several paydays. Merchants are stewing over a downturn of business. Students and teachers grump about graft and corruption in government. And powerful Buddhists complain about Sihanouk's insistence that Buddhism is a socialist religion, implying that Buddhists can coexist with Communism...
...lesson from the humiliating electoral experiences of last December. Well aware that the next elections, due some time before March 1967, may well cost his U.N.R. party its control of the National Assembly, he reshuffled ministers in a pattern carefully calculated to win back the several million voters fed up with overcrowded apartments, roads and schools, to say nothing of his cavalier attitude toward the Common Market. Shortly after De Gaulle was inaugurated with a brief (30-minute) private ceremony in the flower-packed Salle des Fêtes at the Elysée Palace, Pompidou announced the new Cabinet...
Third World Force.

They had enough ideology to chew on, what with Peking's delegates bickering with the Russians and Moscow's men biting right back. Castro himself was all unity...
...Detroit's main post office, a prototype of the scanner has already processed more than 500,000 pieces of mail. As many as 36,000 letters an hour can be fed into a conveyor system that carries them past a cathode-ray tube. The tube's scanning beam locates the last line of each address, converts it to electrical impulses that are recorded on an electronic version of a scratch pad. They are then read by a computer that recognizes city, state and ZIP code characters by comparing them with 6,000 combinations of standard characters...
Feeding Fruit Flies. Their long search, the three Cornell researchers report in Nature, turned up six still-unidentified chemical compounds that apparently had been produced by the irradiation of the sugar found in coconut milk. To confirm their unexpected finding, they irradiated pure sugar and fed it to the buds and roots of other plants and to fruit flies. Again, although the sugar itself was not radioactive, it produced radiation-like results in both the experimental plants and insects; normal growth was noticeably stunted and damaged or altered chromosomes were found...
