...President has shown a sure touch in the way he has balanced emphasis on agricultural self-help (mainly production and use of fertilizer) with birth control and emergency supply of food by ourselves and other countries. And, over more opposition one imagines than has been seen on the surface, he has taken the giant step of eliminating arms shipments to both India and Pakistan. When I was in India as Ambassador all of those steps were ones I very much hoped, on liberal grounds, to see. And some of them, like the cessation of arms shipments, I despaired of ever...

The only clue came from a cook in a Lutheran-mission bungalow, who said that she had seen Thompson standing on a nearby plateau for about 30 minutes. Then, she reported, "suddenly he disappeared."

Massive Manhunt. Alarmed when he did not show up by dark, the Lings called the police, who launched the most massive manhunt ever seen in the Malayan mountains.

John's painting is not much regarded today, but he was an immense character.

Nicolette writes well, with a painter's eye for places and faces...
