...example, Connecticut's five congressional districts range in population from 318,942 to 689,555. Democrats control all but the Fourth, Fairfield County. Fairfield would be strengthened for the Republicans if it were to lose some of the Democratic manufacturing towns along the district's northeast boundary.

He encouraged foreign investment and industrial expansion, had more than $500 million in foreign exchange reserves socked away, spurred a healthy 6% annual rise in the G.N.P. When Communist guerrillas stepped up their campaign of subversion in the scrubby, impoverished northeast provinces, Sarit set in motion a crash $300 million program of medical, economic and educational development that undercut the Red threat. Though his rule was absolute, he always knelt before Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej, encouraged Thais to accept the King as head of state and symbol of national...
