...bombers come mostly from Utapao Air Base in Thailand, which last week opened its gates for a conducted tour by newsmen for the first time since it was built in the mid-1960s. Correspondent Cloud, who accompanied the tour, reported that "there is no hint of war here. The 8,000 airmen work an eight-hour day and then are free to loll at poolside or watch a movie. For the most part, they appear uniformly clean-cut and middleclass. 'It seemed a good place to learn my job and advance my career,' said Captain Claude Hamilton...
Turkey agreed last June to complete a gradual phase-out of its opium-poppy production this year, rather than maintain severely limited production for medical use, as originally planned. The government did not find the decision hard to make, in view of the fact that Washington seemed to hint that the U.S.'s $140 million Turkish aid program hung in the balance. The U.S. is easing the country's cold-turkey withdrawal from poppy production with $35 million in special funds, to be used, among other things, for the construction of a sunflower-oil processing plant near former poppy fields...
...fact, the average seems to be reflecting mostly investors' emotional state. Last week's fall illustrated Wall Street's supersensitivity to any hint of tight money. It occurred after the Chase Manhattan Bank raised its prime rate on business loans by one-quarter of 1% , to 5½% -even though such a move had long been expected.

Gesell conceded that there was an "obvious, well-established governmental interest" in some restriction on civil servants' political activity, a clear hint that a more narrowly drawn law might be permissible. The current law remains in effect, however, pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. Thus the nation's estimated 2.8 million federal civil servants will probably have to sit out the next election, except of course in the privacy...
...their rightful place as legitimate uneasinesses that Robert Mulligan's skillful direction made you ignore. Eschewing the period songs, posters, and movies he used in Summer of '42, he has recreated intact a childhood world that is separate from the wider-ranging life of surrounding adults. There is no hint of city life: the biggest crowds (barring a short scene at a country fair) are the score or so of people who attend the several funerals that come up before the film is done. Life is running free on the farm, drinking lemonade with the neighbor lady, performing magic tricks...
