...Sato comes from his own party's endemic factionalism. The Liberal Democrats, themselves a postwar coalition of Japan's conservatives and liberals born in 1955, operate on a system called oyabun-kobun (leader-adherent) that closely resembles the ward-based political structure of American politics in the late 19th century. In his battle to retain the presidency of the party last December, Sato had to meld the miasmic wishes of a dozen cliques in order to stave off the challenge of former Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama. He won with a hefty 119-vote margin. The "black mist" corruption...
...late-blooming life of the party (or what is left of it loyal to Mao), Chiang Ching has been variously explained as the chief inventor of the Cultural Revolution, the guiding force behind Mao, a vindictive Dragon Lady out for personal revenge, and a frustrated starlet seeking the limelight. Though she and Mao are rarely seen together, they dwell in apparent harmony in a villa on a spoon-shaped peninsula in Peking's South Lake...
...Alden's goal to "shape a university that's in touch with the real world." He has brought an impressive list of guest speakers to the campus, ranging from President Johnson, who spoke there on a war-on-poverty tour in May 1964, to the late Protestant theologian Paul Tillich. The university's select "Ohio Fellows," 30 members of each class chosen for their potential as future public leaders, have been able to quiz such officials as Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. Alden has also defended the right...
...nothing of assorted Communists, spies and murderers. Williams helped Jimmy Hoffa beat a bribery rap, got Tax Evader Frank Costello out of prison, opened the mails to the peephole magazine Confidential. Happily for moralists, he is also a loser on occasion: he failed to foil Senate censure of the late Joe McCarthy, and last week he lost the case of Bobby Baker, who was found guilty of, among other things, pocketing $99,600 that California savings-and-loan bankers had handed him as Senate campaign "contributions" (TIME...
Doubling Sales. The F228 flies in the prop wash of Fairchild Killer's ubiquitous C-119 Flying Boxcars and C-123 transports. Financially troubled during the late 1950s after these contracts ended, the company flew low for a few years, picked up altitude with orders for its F-27 and F227 propjet airliners and for helicopters. In September 1965, Fairchild Hiller acquired Republic Aviation Corp., suffering at the time from production phase-outs of the F-105 fighter-bomber, and subsisting on F-105 modification orders and subcontracts from other aerospace companies...
