...Sarit's two sons by a previous wife estimated that their father was worth at least 2.8 billion tickels, or $143 million. That seemed a lot of baht for a career soldier. So, before allowing his estate to be distributed, Sarit's successor, Thanom Kittikachorn, appointed a five-man committee to see if any government funds had lodged in Sarit's pocket...
Taking note of warnings that giving suspects such a right to counsel would greatly diminish the number of confessions obtained by police between arrest and formal indictment, Justice Goldberg, who wrote the five-man majority opinion, said, "This argument cuts two ways. The fact that many confessions are obtained during this period points up its critical nature at a stage when legal aid and advice are surely needed."

Only last week the Enquirer extended by ten years the lease on its plant...
...defeated in 1960, he consistently voted against Government spending and public welfare measures, stood with Southern Democrats on civil rights. Now a state judge in Idaho, he admits to being far from expert in finance. These may seem like unusual qualifications for the newest member of the five-man Securities and Exchange Commission, but last week Hamer Harold Budge got the job. President Johnson appointed him, said SEC sources, partly as a political favor to House Minority Leader Charles Halleck, the judge's longtime golfing crony. (The judge calls Halleck "Pop," while Halleck calls him "Son.") He replaces Jack...
