...Opposition politicos kept asking embarrassing questions, e.g., How was it that some 25 Buicks and Cadillacs had been imported duty-free in the President's name? El Khoury tried to suppress the scandals, but there weren't enough rugs in all Lebanon to sweep the dirt under. He kept losing supporters. Lebanese resented the nickname their country was getting: the Baksheesh State...
...Shot Cure? The big task has been to find a drug which would not only suppress active malaria, but cure the disease by destroying the parasites during the periods when they hide in the body tissues, so that there can be no more relapses. And it should be something that can be taken once, or for a short time, and then forgotten.

The Reds hurled spears and barbed-wire flails; the Americans retaliated with tear gas and concussion grenades which stun but do not kill. Fiercest fighters of all were 600 Red amputees who hopped...
...Pentagon reporters are frequently followed by the Army's intelligence agents, to identify their sources. No reputable reporter wanted to give away genuine military secrets. But stories had been held up for "security" when the real reason was interservice rivalry, e.g., the Air Force has tried to suppress stories on the guided missiles which the Army had already approved. In many cases, no question of military security is involved. In civilian areas, Government tax agents hide most of their activities, including shenanigans, under an official policy of secrecy. And Presidential Assistant John Steelman recently set up barricades...
