...guns. Miami officials registered a pistol made from a brier pipe. Boston discovered a 3.5-in. rocket launcher. Honolulu agents collected seven Chinese machine guns from G.I.s who were returning from Viet Nam. An Idaho farmer registered a fully assembled 90-mm. antiaircraft gun that he employs in a potato field as a "very effective" scarecrow.

In 1964, he promulgated a new constitution that in the long run, as its institutions evolve, will considerably reduce his own power. A year later, following the country's first free elections, the 216-seat Wolesi Jirga, or parliament, came into existence...
