...Parliament only five years after acquiring Vietnamese citizenship. Under Ngo Dinh Diem's regime, the Chinese here were at first prevented from practicing dozens of professions. Such a prohibition was soon neutralized by a decision to give masses of them Vietnamese citizenship, thus making deeper and steadier Chinese control over the Viet Nam economy. There is no proof of the devotion of new Vietnamese citizens of Chinese origin to our cause. If there is no change in the decision of the provisional Legislative Council, South Viet Nam might become identical with Singapore, which is thoroughly under the control...
...banking. Engineers, once the prima ballerinas of industry, are less in demand; calls for engineers two months ago dropped to their lowest point in more than three years. Many technicians, moreover, are leery about the uncertainties of defense work and sometimes will take pay cuts in return for steadier employment.

"A kind of tax-free device, you might call it," says Sir Frank Packer, head of the three-man syndicate that built Gretel. Though U.S. yachtsmen have reservations about Gretel's design-some thought her "long-ended," said her fore-and-aft overhang might make her hobbyhorse in a brisk breeze-they conceded that the trim Australian boat might well be the toughest challenger...
