Massive Manhunt. Alarmed when he did not show up by dark, the Lings called the police, who launched the most massive manhunt ever seen in the Malayan mountains. Some 300 soldiers and police using tracker dogs fanned out through the jungle. Helicopters swooped over the treetops. The searchers were soon joined by 30 aboriginal tribesmen of the area, through which both tigers and bandits are known to roam. Back in Bangkok, a Portuguese Jesuit brother with a reputation for clairvoyance picked out a likely spot on a map, and the commander of U.S. Army Support in Thailand, Brigadier General Edwin...
...Russian takeover of the huge British base at Singapore would not only produce "a stalemate" on the Malayan peninsula, as Lee observed, but also block the strategic Strait of Malacca and disrupt the entire balance of power in the Southeast Pacific. The idea was all the more surprising because a) Britain has no intention of leaving anytime soon, b) the U.S. has its hands full in Viet Nam, and c) the Soviet Union is so monumentally uninterested in Lee's problems that it has not even troubled to recognize the infant nation in the six weeks since...

...idea of a Korean, or a Malayan, degree of involvement in South Viet Nam is unpalatable to most Americans. But it is not unthinkable, if only because it may be necessary to meet the basic U.S. commitment. One of the Johnson Administration's major problems has been the average American's notion that the war in South Viet Nam is little more than a skirmish between opposing Asians. President Johnson is in the process of dispelling that notion by sending more and more American men to do more and more fighting there. Such deepening involvement calls for results...
