Feudal Loyalty. In the first phase of local elections, 1,004 villages will elect councils of six to twelve members, with the candidate receiving the largest vote becoming chairman of the village. The councils will restore a large measure of long-lost self-rule to the villagers, since they will be empowered to make decisions in some 15 different spheres, ranging from taxation to school construction. They will be able to spend up to $425 on their own; larger sums must be discussed with province chiefs or Saigon. As the next step, 4,487 hamlets (subdivisions of villages) will elect...
Saigon has attempted to minimize the risks as much as possible. The first phase of local elections will be held only in secure, government-controlled areas-with a total population of 5,000,000. The definition of security varies, however, and in some hamlets there are more candidates than police or militia to protect them.

All candidates for the 15,000 local posts available must meet 13 requirements before a Saigon-appointed board...

While Germany is faltering, Britain's auto industry is marking time after passing through the worst phase of the government's deflationary policies.

In its first-half report for fiscal 1967, due shortly, giant B.M.C. is expected to show sharply reduced profits...
What Mao is attempting to do, in effect, is to replace the lingering ideal of harmony-using as much of it as he can for his own devices-with a modern, dynamic system of dialectic struggle. In trying to accomplish this, he must cope with every ancient phase of Chinese mentality, from its basic view of man to the minutest daily practices. The traditional Chinese view of the universe does not, as in the West, see a struggle between good and evil. The famous principles of Yin and Yang imply an alternate cosmic rhythm but not a struggle...
