Redouble the Blood. So far, Britain has shown no sign that it will abandon plans to withdraw its 14,000-man garrison-despite the pleas of South Arabia's Foreign Minister, Sheik Mohammed Farid, who was in London last week asking for at least a token British force to guarantee the peace. Plainly worried about Nasser's intentions, the U.S. State Department warned against "unprovoked aggression" in Aden. A three-man United Nations team is to arrive later this month to explore ways to smooth Aden's road to independence. But FLOSY's Mackawee...
...wish to offer my congratulations on the excellent article on Prime Minister Sato and the contemporary political situation in Japan. However, I am constrained to draw your attention to the passage in which it is stated that Prime Minister "Sato . . . was on the verge of sending a token number of troops to aid Saigon before the U.S. buildup and the bombing of the north began."

...token of his resolve to cut spending, Reagan's office announced that the new administration would make do with the old regime's stationery, crossing out the names of Brown's officials and typing in those of their successors. And rather than ask the state to build a new split-level to replace the Governor's 90-year-old gingerbread mansion in Sacramento-his wife Nancy calls it "a fire-trap"-Reagan said he would endorse the efforts of a citizens' group that is trying to raise money for a new official residence...
...chief policy problem plaguing Tokyo and Washington is the Japanese public's attitude toward Viet Nam. Sato privately approves the U.S. involvement, and indeed was on the verge of sending a token number of troops to aid Saigon before the U.S. buildup and the bombing of the North began. Now, he has had to be careful. Since World War II, the Japanese have become pacifistic to the point of violence, as they showed in the 1960 riots that canceled Dwight Eisenhower's visit. The Mutual Security Treaty between the U.S. and Japan comes up for renewal...
