...Cameron Highlands of Malaysia, 140 miles north of Kuala Lumpur at an elevation of 5,000 ft., is one of Southeast Asia's most fetching health resorts. Its climate is mild by day and cool by night, and its lush vegetation includes thick jungles, clouds of brilliant flowers and mile after mile of tea plantations. There last week on vacation went one of Southeast Asia's best-known businessmen, American James Thompson, 61. Tired from a round of business, which included the opening in Bangkok three weeks ago of a new, two-story headquarters for his $1.5 million...
...like that might figure it was a lemon, but State Department Chief of Protocol James Symington, 39, insists: "It's what I've always wanted."

Still, with two dozen welcoming committees at work on his 24-hour visit, it was likely to be a memorable one. No demonstrations were expected in Seoul, however, and Park anticipated crowds of 2,000,000 to greet the President-double the number that happily mobbed Dwight Eisenhower...
Leftover Terrorists. Malaysia can state a compelling case for assistance. Its location-spreading from the Borneo rain forests across the South China Sea to the pleasant Malay highlands-gives it an importance in the security of Asia. The handsome capital of Kuala Lumpur is alive with new autos, motor bikes and eager shoppers; outside the city, 140 new factories have sprung up, and 50 more are under construction...
