...controlling stock interest, the present publisher's grandfather, Lorrin A. Thurston, was put in charge. He, too, was a campaigner, known for his fiery editorials in favor of U.S. annexation. His son, Lorrin P., who took over the paper in 1931, took up the cause of Hawaiian statehood as his crusade, but as a publisher he seemed to lack his predecessor's skills. The Advertiser, which had long been Hawaii's leading daily, went into a decline, beginning about 1930. After World War II, it started losing $100,000 a year and dropped behind the afternoon Star...

Her subsequent search leads to Haifa...
...most rebellious warriors of the 30-odd largely illiterate montagnard (hill people) tribes that are scattered through the empty high lands-half of South Viet Nam (TIME Oct. 2, 1964). Trouble could break out again, for the rebels demand more aid and more jobs as well as autonomous statehood for the lightly populated areas they occupy. But pointing to dozens of government posts recently handed to the montagnards, Ky for the moment had damped the smoldering discontent. His ultimate aim: to use the breathing space to bring all the montagnards back into the front line against the Viet Cong...
