...Sato's most farsighted moves has been to join Asian regional groupings (TIME Essay, Feb. 3), which do not commit Japan to an aggressive foreign policy but will probably involve the country with its Asian neighbors. One organization in which Japan already has a stake is the Manila-based Asian Development Bank, whose first president is a former government finance adviser, Takeshi Watanabe, 60. With its $200 million funding toward the 32-nation bank's $1 billion capitalization, Japan matched the U.S. contribution. Said Sato: "A cornerstone is now being laid by all of us to establish...
...less desert-has proved so successful that last week workmen were busy with major expansions of six InterContinental hotels. Completely new additions to the chain were rising at Lahore and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, Nicaragua's Managua, and Auckland, N.Z. This month the company will break ground in Manila, and architects are drafting plans for hotels in Victoria Falls and Lusaka in Zambia, and Nairobi, Kenya. Inter-Continental is even represented behind the Iron Curtain with Zagreb's Esplanade, and emissaries are dickering with Hungarian Communists about helping to run a hotel in Budapest...

Today, W.W.T. handles about half of the paid professional entertainment appearing at U.S. military clubs; last year the agency booked 14 acts from the outside (paying them a normal top of $1,000 for five shows a week), was even able...
...working in three shifts -one cop per 3,450 civilians, or one-sixth the needed force. Papa's men are lucky to get 15 prowl cars on the streets at any one time. Half of the cars are wheezy World War II Jeeps without radios. Manila has only about 24 police call boxes; and even if the city had street pay telephones, which it has not, Papa says that his $80-a-month patrolmen "couldn't afford to use them...
