Nasution and the Army Chief of Staff General Suharto are carrying their struggle to reorganize the nation beyond the mere killing of Reds. Last week the entire Indonesian price-wage structure was shaken up by what could only be army orders. Fuel, postal and railway rates were upped by roughly a factor of 100 to bring the rupiah (currently 22,500 to $1 on the black market) into realistic line. Agents hustled off to other Southeast Asian nations in search of rice for the food-short nation. Wages must still be brought up to meaningful levels, but that much-needed...
...first day at North Texas State, Moyers met a green-eyed black-haired home-economics major named Judith Davidson, daughter of a Dallas postal clerk. "She sat in front of me," he recalls. "Instead of dropping a handkerchief for me to pick up, she left her books underneath the seat.

While Eros gets high marks from assorted literary eminences, the court is unlikely to be edified by Ginzburg's gamier products, which he mailed from Middlesex, N.J., having failed to get postal privileges at Intercourse...
Larry's move out front may also benefit the nation. So highly do Congressmen regard his drive and organizational talents that many last week were already looking forward to better postal service under "General" O'Brien, as his 600,000 employees will now call him. After all, without reasonably efficient mail, how could its citizens ever convince each other that Lyndon's Society was Great...
Sake for Carpenters. Last week mail sorters in Brussels staged a wildcat strike to protest the Belgian postal authorities' insistence that they occasionally work overtime and that they forgo the traditional extra leaves on top of summer vacation. Travelers on a British European Airways flight departing London Airport for Paris sat impatiently aboard their plane for a full hour one recent morning while porters took a coffee break before loading the baggage. In Ireland a three-week-old strike of gravediggers, who demanded longer vacations, is forcing mourners to bury their own dead. In Australia, 100 Queensland packinghouse workers...
