...reward for information that would lead to his return alive (and offered $10.000 for proof of his death). Thompson's Bangkok-based silk company sent back to the highlands for another careful look Richard Noone, 49, a British officer in SEATO who was once an adviser to the Malayan aborigines department. Noone, who knows the dialects and habits of the area's tribes, brought along a North Borneo border scout and an aborigine witch doctor. Thompson's friends flew in Peter Hurkos, the psychic Dutch crime detector who directed his talents toward solving the Boston Strangler case...
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.

Time and again, Peking has shown its readiness to provoke such wars and to support them to the death-the death, that is, of every last Pakistani, Vietnamese, Malayan, Algerian or Cuban...
Other Places, Other Builders. South of Rockefeller's Mauna Kea, California Oil Millionaire Johnno M. Jackson is opening Kona Village in September, which will consist of 130 cottages spread around a lagoon, each decorated and designed in Malayan, Fijian, Samoan or Tahitian style. Public facilities will be housed in an authentic long house built over the ruins of an old meeting house. Because a tortuous, seven-mile trail is all that connects the village with public highways and commercial airports, guests will have to be ferried in by private plane or boat...
