...great deal to celebrate. Communist-led tribal bands in the interior are stepping up an ugly guerrilla war. Burma is nervous about the erratic course of Red China, with which it shares a wide-open 1,200-mile border. Even worse, the country's pell-mell plunge into socialism has pell-melled right into chaos.

With that outlay, the industry will add as much seat-mile capacity as it had altogether in 1950. The airlines are already the nation...
...them are going to vote against the Administration." The Democratic ladies themselves displayed an unnerving degree of adoration for the President. Engulfing him in the White House, they jostled feverishly to bestow coos and kisses on Lyndon Johnson, knocking furniture and objets d'art pell-mell in a mob scene reminiscent of Andrew Jackson...
