Most Extraordinary. Politicians and intellectuals, insisting that the new constitution automatically does away with martial law, were upset by Praphas' announcement. Said the Bangkok newspaper Siam Rath: "Thailand would be a most extraordinary country if we were to maintain this double standard." Then, in an event both startling and significant for a country in political hibernation for a decade, Thai university students took to the streets for their first political-protest demonstration in eleven years-initially against martial law, then against a bus-fare hike and high rice and pork prices. Ignoring the warnings of police, several thousand marched...
...Many stockholders, particularly heirs of Founder George Huntington Hartford, who started the chain 109 years ago, place much of the blame on a foundation set up by Hartford's sons, John A. and George L. Hartford, which holds the biggest single block (34%) of A. & P. stock. They maintain that the management-dominated foundation (eight of ten trustees are present or past A. & P. executives) in effect runs the company, placing the interests of top staffers ahead of stockholders'. Fearful of inquisitive bankers, goes one complaint, A. & P. has always shied away from loans and has financed improvements...
While it is necessary to discount such hysteria and maintain a sound historical perspective, it is still obvious that the U.S. must have gun legislation. Though states and localities have a bewildering crazy quilt of 20,000 weapon laws, only two are on the federal books.

Daniels textile company, which wholly owns the 128-year-old community, started demolishing it in line with a decision made last year that it was too expensive to maintain. The $15-million-a-year mill operation will be unaffected by the policy, since most of those losing their homes are too set in their ways-or too old-to look for new jobs. A good number of the 94 displaced families, accustomed to living in their own homes at $16-a-month rent, may be forced to move into Baltimore...
...factor in the elections, which will be held in two rounds, the first balloting to take place on June 23, with the runoff elections on June 30. There are no foreign policy issues involved. Though there are some economic worries, the overriding immediate issue is simply who can best maintain order in France, and then, in the long run, solve the antagonisms and grievances that have been exposed in recent weeks. Fearing that De Gaulle will benefit from a backlash law-and-order vote, the Communists have redoubled their efforts to cool the situation. "Every time somebody gets socked...
