...date, 230 people own der Grosse (or its slightly smaller version, priced at only $20,000), and another 600 have placed orders. Among them are King Hussein, Marshal Tito, Archbishop Makarios, Indonesia's Sukarno, Playboy Hugh Hefner and Mao Tse-tung. If LTD customers will not be traveling in such fast company, at least they can ostentatiously watch their TV or chat on the phone as Mercedes 600 sails by. But then, Mercedes passengers may be too exhilarated to notice-their car has a built...

Easygoing Moslem Malays claim that the Chinese, who dominate Malaysia's economy, reek of money, while Singapore's Chinese Premier says, "The Malay does not respond...
...second, demagogic, category of Asian leaders, the worst is Indonesia's Sukarno, whose campaign to "crush Malaysia" as a "neocolonialist" plot furnishes Indonesia with a phony national purpose and distracts attention from his own disastrous misrule. Even Sandhurst-educated President Ayub Khan of Pakistan plays up "the Indian menace" to strengthen his political hand, warns darkly: "India wants to settle every dispute with force and aggression...
