...first time in history, the U.S. in 1965 established bastions across the nerve centers of Southeast Asia. From formidable new enclaves in South Viet Nam to a far-flung network of airfields, supply depots and naval facilities abuilding in Thailand, the U.S. will soon be able to rush aid to any threatened ally in Asia. Should the British leave Singapore, as they may do by the 1970s, the new U.S. military complex would constitute the only Western outpost of any consequence from the Sea of Japan to the Indian Ocean...

In rush-hour traffic, they disgorge far more cars than Seattle can handle. But neither newspapers nor city officials had made audible complaint-until last spring when a little-known, not-quite-two-year-old monthly magazine called Seattle warned its readers that they would soon be living in a "concrete phantasmagoria" unless the city stopped building freeways and began to concentrate on rapid transit. Alerted to the danger at last, Seattle's two newspapers, which had been...
