This election year, Doug McKay is engaged in a basic political struggle with the shade of Harold Ickes and his heirs. The issue: federal management of resources v. the Eisenhower slogan of partnership between Government and business. In the West, this conflict is much sharper than in the rest of the U.S. The West grew up under the Federal Government's wing. McKay's opponents are betting that it wants to stay there. Eisenhower, McKay & Co. think they see signs that the West, even on such issues as who develops water power, is ready to emerge from Washington...

...Cambodia is now the smallest (about the size of Missouri) of the three Associated States. The French established their protectorate in 1863, but decided to leave the easygoing Cambodians pretty much on their own, to trade contentedly in pepper and corn, grow rice and worship Buddha in the shade. When the Communist guerrillas arose in 1952, plump young King Norodom Sihanouk forswore his love songs, his saxophone, his personal troupe of 30 dancing girls and led his 12,000-man army and his war elephants against the Reds. In 1953, King Norodom took himself off to Thailand, vowing...
