...join in the protest. I protest in the name of those who have given their lives in vain. In the name of those who believe all men have the right to self-determination, in the name of those who believe that no man is free until all men are free...
...Asia would place more responsibility on the region's wealthiest nation, Japan. Although an American withdrawal from the war does not mean that the U.S. would cease to be a Pacific power, Japan would inevitably have to make more of an effort for its own security and self-defense. Premier Eisaku Sato has acknowledged that Japan must pay more attention to its own military responsibilities after it regains sovereignty over Okinawa, thereby expanding its frontier 400 miles southward to embrace 1,000,000 more citizens.

Lately, however, they have suffered only setbacks. Social security payments have been made compulsory for the self-employed (cost: some $520 a year). Last August, Pompidou devalued the franc -and dispatched inspectors to make sure that shopkeepers did not simply raise their prices...
