Abdul Rahman's campaigning was aided by Malaya's flourishing economy. The federation produces almost a third of the world's natural rubber and tin; its per capita income ($350) is the highest in Asia, and it boasts one telephone for every 100 persons (U.S. ratio: one for every 2½). With the ten-year-old Communist insurrection spluttering into oblivion in the northern jungles and with the nation's rice crop the largest in its history, voters swarmed to the polls last week on foot, and by car, boat, pedicab and elephant.

That well-forgotten U.S. ballad, Memories Are Made of This, beats out of the German jukeboxes as Heimweh (homesickness), and the manufactured nostalgia seems violently contagious. In three years, Freddy's Heimweh has sold more than 2,000,000 copies. It is the alltime European pop-record...
