Exodus? President Johnson requested a congressional appropriation of $50 million in emergency funds. But most Alaskans were convinced that the Congress will have to pass special legislation to make as much as $500 million available, preferably in outright grants rather than long-term loans. Governor Egan and other state officials hoped at the same time to kick off a $50 million reconstruction bond issue. But in any event, Alaskans agreed that they had better get the money soon or suffer a depression and a mass exodus of the populace. Said Anchorage Times Publisher Robert Atwood: "Uncle...
...Brink. With colossal mismanagement at home and bullying adventures abroad, Sukarno has pushed his sprawling, intrinsically rich island nation to the brink of bankruptcy. On Java, where 60% of all Indonesians live, recurring drought and a rat plague have led to outright famine. Irked by Sukarno's "Crush Malaysia" campaign, the U.S. is phasing out its aid (total to date: $896 million), last month shipped Indonesia its final 40,000 tons of American rice.

We do so by the stories we select, the details we emphasize, the speculation we report, the directions in which we point, as well as by outright forecast. Everyone on our staff recalls his own favorite prediction, be it the precise forecast of the end of the American retreat in Korea, or Ike's nomination in 1952, or the uneasy suggestion that the overthrow of Diem's regime in South Viet Nam would only lead...
Only about half the students date frequently, usually on campus. Last year someone proposed a committee called SMOG (Students for More Outright Gaiety). It died aborning. Swarthmore is big on folk music and oldtime movies, short on sick fads like LSD. Swarthmoreans prefer quiet brooding. "The most casual-looking kids are going through the most intense self-examination," says one casual-looking coed...
