The prices are set high, so that the dealers will not be tempted to rip open all the envelopes and simply collect the winnings. The federal commission is divided on whether to forbid the games or to regulate them more stringently; it is expected to reach a decision next month...

Educated people in Asia generally want their societies to evolve as open, pluralistic, constitutional democracies. Most Asian countries have a long way to go to achieve these goals, but giving way to step in the wrong direction. Malaysia, which has a continuing problem with Communist guerillas on a small scale, is now having its national parliamentary election campaign. In this campaign the various opposition...
