At the East-West Center on the University of Hawaii's campus, the President noted that while the U.S. was once interested in Asia chiefly as a trade outlet, and had thus pursued the policy of "the open door," its policy today "must be the policy of an open mind." He added: "I am convinced that we have now reached a turning point in Asia's history, in Asia's relations with the U.S., in Asia's relations with the rest of the world."

"Together," says Sebastian, who is the son of Classical Harmonica Player John Sebastian, "we make up about one fairly efficient human being." There are no protests in their songs, just new and often...
Little Lebanon, an oasis of stability and old-fashioned economic freedom in the impoverished and riotous Middle East, prospers not only by trade but as a money market. In less than two decades, its bustling capital of Beirut has grown into the world's newest financial center, the shrewd regional banker to everybody from wealthy Arab sheiks to huge U.S. oil companies.
