...preponderance of our patients have preventable communicable diseases-typhoid fever, cholera, bubonic plague, hepatitis, malaria and other such conditions-that are the result of environmental health problems and lack of basic health education. Dr. John Knowles recommends that we double the U.S. medical budget, bring in more U.S. surgeons, train more Vietnamese doctors and start an immunization program. Might we suggest the most desperately needed commodity of all: public health technicians. The crowding of hospitals can be drastically slashed through implementation of an environmental health, preventive medicine and sanitation program. This would cut to a trickle the flow of people...
...Kittikachorn has not been idle. Over the past year, it has built up a force of 10,000 Royal Thai Army troops and police in the Northeast. More than two-thirds of the annual U.S. $60 million economic-aid package now goes to the impoverished area. U.S. Special Forces train Thai soldiers in counterinsurgency, and a few Americans work directly with troops in the field. While they leave problems at the village level to the Thais, U.S. advisers also help in road building, health and development projects...
...Norfolk & Western, normally one of the most profitable, had a 23% earnings decline. The N. & W. managed, however, to set another sort of record.

Dylan was just another work shirt and guitar buried under hyperbolic interpretation of stock songs ("House of the Rising Sun," "Freight Train Blues"). The words had him then, ballooned his voice with folksy groans and rips, all upbeat enthusiasm and innocence. The Folksinger...
What submerges from Dylan's thought poems is a surrealistic Yoknapatawpha Country, a rich wasteland crossed by Highway 61 and the holy slow train. Enter at your peril. There are no lumberjacks to give you facts when Dylan, riding on a radiant electronic bass, attacks your imagination. You pay your money to watch the geek, but the viscous torrent of picture words doubles you on yourself. You think very hard about nothing, narcissim at 33 and 1/3, until you like Mr. Jones "know something's happening but you don't know what...
