...Paul Conrad's cover cartoon of the leading presidential contenders [April 14] does reward "a few moments of savoring contemplation," but the really intriguing figure is the horse. This mean-and unpredictable-looking animal probably symbolizes the electorate upon whose support each "jockey" must ultimately depend. Is there not, however, an outside chance that it represents a "dark horse" candidate? A Mustang for Ford Foundation President McGeorge Bundy? A symbol of the long-departed past for Barry Goldwater? Or perhaps it is not a horse at all, but a mule standing for George Wallace's stubbornness...
Last week, to back up their hopes, an anonymous group of Thompson's friends doubled, to $25,000, the previous reward for information that would lead to his return alive (and offered $10.000 for proof of his death). Thompson's Bangkok-based silk company sent back to the highlands for another careful look Richard Noone, 49, a British officer in SEATO who was once an adviser to the Malayan aborigines department. Noone, who knows the dialects and habits of the area's tribes, brought along a North Borneo border scout and an aborigine witch doctor. Thompson...
Another declared civilian is Nguyen Dinh Quat, 49, a Saigon businessman and former plantation owner, who in 1961 had the courage-or misjudgment -to run against President Ngo Dinh Diem. His reward was to be dispossessed of all his property by the Diem regime. A Northerner, Quat is now thought to be interested less in the presidency than in being chosen as a stronger candidate's vice-presidential running mate. The third civilian is Ha Thuc Ky, 48, a forestry engineer and Hué businessman nominated by the Dai Vet Party, a small, ultranationalist grouping. No relation to Premier...
...news. In the President's eyes, reporters are either to be used or avoided. And Reston points out that the relationship is an unequal one because the President can decide when he makes an announcement, and whom he gives the scoop to--an advantage which allows him to reward one reporter and punish another. The ideal situation, Reston continues, would be to have the President use the press as an educating arm of the government which explained the problems of the State Department to the people...
...younger generation. Although morale among the youth sagged at times, the revolution, the Civil War, and the period of the first Five-Year Plan sparked considerable youthful idealism in Soviet Russia. Whatever enthusiasm had been generated, however, soon wore off by the mid-thirties. Continuous forced effort with little reward, and a stifling of self-expression in the arts and elsewhere after Stalin's consolidation of political control, brought on disillusionment. Furthermore, the harsh measures taken to force the peasants into collective farms had serious repercussions among the youth...
