...October's Red coup will end in a Chinese bloodbath. Chinese merchants' shops are regularly looted, many Chinese schools have been closed, and last week the government banned all Chinese-language newspapers. Although few of the late Partai Komunis Indonesia's members were Chinese, many Indonesians harbor resentment against the overseas Chinese who dominate the nation's commerce. Peking itself has protested against anti-Chinese demonstrations in North Sumatra, where "right-wing hooligans armed with iron bars, hatchets and other lethal weapons rabidly attacked shops and stores owned by Chinese nationals...

Maryland authorities are looking for ways to build second crossings for both links. Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ohio and Texas turnpikes all earn two to three times more than they need to pay interest on the bond issues that built them...
...Financed by CBS, the Scripps newspaper chain, the San Mateo (Calif.) Times and the Associated Press, he made four trips to the islands of the western Pacific to gather evidence of evildoing. In 1960, he returned from the Pacific with a bagful of airplane parts dredged out of Saipan harbor. These, he believed, were the remains of Earhart's twin-engined Lockheed Electra.* No such luck; the collection turned out to be parts from a Japanese plane. In 1964, Goerner got a flash of headlines by producing seven pounds of human bones and 37 teeth. The flyers? Nope, declared...
