...country has asked them to take on the task of keeping its commitment to our neighbors across the Pacific. The price is very high. The actual cost is evidenced by the freshly turned turf in Arlington and the crowded wards of our military hospitals. In these places lie the quiet ones-the givers. We never hear from them because they are not vocal. We hear only from the selfish who are unwilling to see their country through another trying period.

But we already have $5 million and the rest of the trustees are helping us along...
...John Cantwell crossed into Mao's stricken land for TIME. An Australian who speaks both Cantonese and Mandarin, Cantwell spent several days in the big South China city of Canton, the scene of recent anti-Maoist riots and disorders. He found the city of 2,500,000 relatively quiet on the surface but seething underneath with barely repressed violence. His report...
