Fire or Token? The impact of Almond's decision spread fast and spread hard through the South. Virginia, the traditional leader, had originally provided in its massive-resistance laws-in its authorization for the Governor and/or assembly to seize control of the schools from local districts, to close schools, to withhold school funds, etc.-a promising pattern of lawful resistance to the Supreme Court's basic 1954-55 decisions. Now Virginia was setting what amounted to a new pattern of limited or token integration, which had already been pioneered in North Carolina. Desperately, the Virginia General Assembly...
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson could hardly have had a more opportune week to start his Senate Preparedness Subcommittee on a full-dress investigation of the state of the nation's defenses.

As a result of a visit to the U.S. last September, Sihanouk is now impressed with everything American, from soda fountains to military air bases, and believes the U.S. now understands him better too. U.S. diplomacy here, as in Laos and Thailand, has recently shown greater sophistication...
Malaya. The only nation in Southeast Asia that still operates as a parliamentary democracy, Malaya is also one of the most solidly based. It has an able leader, the Moslem Premier Tengku Abdul Rahman, who was able to lift emergency restrictions in the state of Negri Sembilan last week, has now cleaned up 80% of the country as the eleven-year war against Communist guerrillas in the jungle sputters off into insignificance...
