Russian involvement in Sinkiang dates to the Czars. In the mid-19th century, Alexander II sent troops into northwestern Sinkiang to quell a Moslem revolt. An 1881 treaty restored part of the area to China, but Russia retained a large hunk. Stalin expanded Soviet influence in Sinkiang by using Soviet consulates and cultural centers for propaganda. In 1944, Moslem rebels financed by Moscow set up the East Turkestan Republic in Sinkiang. Up to the time Mao Tse-tung won control of China, the Russians were trying to establish Sinkiang as an independent republic...
...Administration. "They see promotions and raises they want going to men ten or 15 years their junior." In an effort to acquire the new computer-oriented management skills that are being so highly rewarded, older executives are enrolling in business school. More than one-third of the students in Northwestern's graduate business school night courses are men over...
...trouble centers on Muong Soui, an important garrison on the northwestern edge of the strategic Plain of Jars. It straddles vital Route 7, the only good east-west highway in Laos, and controls the gateway to the Upper Mekong as well as access to Route 13, which links the royal capital of Luang Prabang with the administrative capital of Vientiane.

What kind of a man surmounts these constraints? One rather circular answer is a man who sees someone else do it. Northwestern University's James H. Bryan discovered that the proportion of people who stopped to aid a woman driver struggling with a flat tire increased if they passed another woman farther back who was already getting help. Columbia Teachers College Psychologist Harvey Hornstein has experimentally "lost" 500 wallets around New York City during the past two years. His studies show that finders who think that others have been helpful in similar situations are most likely to mail...
...company's major health problem is that too many men seem to burn out at 55. The harried middle manager feels the hot breath of rising young men, who now start at salaries that it once took ten years to achieve. Frank Cassell, professor of industrial relations at Northwestern's Graduate School of Business, detects a widespread malaise that affects even these high-priced junior executives. "Young Northwestern alumni are wondering about the meaning of their lives in business," he says. Meanwhile, many students have been repelled by business, partly as a reaction against their fathers' long...
