...sensitive to any hint of interference by farangs or foreigners in their national life, the enormous U.S. buildup is a painful concession to the grim facts of Southeast Asian life. They talk about it as little as they can, admit virtually nothing officially, and have carefully made only gentleman's agreements, one at a time, for U.S. use of their bases. The U.S. in turn respects Thai feelings by trying, as one official puts it, to present a "low silhouette" on the Thai landscape.

In an industry driven by cool, computerized accountants and tough-talking salesmen, Roche is a folksy sort who never shows his temper and whose greatest failing, according to companions and competitors alike, is that "he may be too much of a gentleman." Roche now ranks second at G.M. to Chairman Frederic G. Donner and is the odds-on-choice to succeed him when Donner turns 65 in the fall of 1967. While Donner supervises top policy from Manhattan, Roche heads day-today operations, can take much of the credit-and blame...
