All around the rim of mainland China, many Asian nations are making notable progress, but the greatest obstacle remains the furtive hand in the till, the kickback artist, the bagman, the specialist in "squeeze." Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, who has more than his share of corruption to bog him down at home, is convinced that "we must change a whole way of life. We must do it or fail to survive...

But overall, the OGOs have been a resounding success. By week's end, OGO-4 was performing without a sign of trouble. At TRW's Redondo Beach, Calif., plant, scientists and engineers are testing OGO-5 and building OGO-6, both of which will be sent up next year.
