...Northeast. In New England, Rocky's forces are shaken. Maine, where the Rockefeller family has summered for years, still likes Rocky. But, says Portland's Fred Scribner, general counsel of the G.O.P. National Committee: "Re marriage will really hurt Rockefeller."

Under the guidance of Thailand's sharpest and most aggressive young civil servants, who once shunned the northeast as a kind of Siberia, schools are being built and electric generators...
...nations in Southeast Asia, Thailand alone has never been dominated by a colonial power, has been independent since the 13th century. Sarit is confident that his program will keep it so. "The situation was quite serious," he admits, "but since we started to move in the northeast, the danger has become less acute." Adds a top military aide: "Thailand is in the vaccination stage. We don't have the disease of Communism. If we vaccinate now, we won't fall...
