Much of his work has been conducted overseas with help from foreign collaborators. "I've ever used Air Force money to pay their salaries, just money from the State Departmne'ts exchange program," he said...
...that badly needs more stringent supervision. So far this year, 36 chutists have died; last year the figure was 23, the year before 25. The U.S. Parachute Association argues that there is only one fatality for every 55.000 jumps, points to its long list of dos and don'ts for members. In the Ohio tragedy, there was an obvious FAA radar foul-up. Yet the chutists had broken every rule in their own book, rules that in any event are largely voluntary. Aside from the cloud regulation, no federal or state agency pays much attention. The theory apparently...
...junta also seeks to reform Greece by issuing an almost endless list of dos and don'ts. A few outlandish decrees, such as the ban on beards, were prudently withdrawn, but others have stuck.

Also on the don't list were soccer (might draw excitable crowds) and fireworks (might make a sentry trigger-happy). The press was under total censorship. Telephones and telegrams to places abroad were monitored by censors...
...intricate are Japan's election laws that a candidate for the Diet must wade through a 200-page paperback manual of dos and don'ts before he dares to make a speech. If he campaigns by car, he is limited to a "short, simple appeal" such as "Please vote for me." If he campaigns by sea or river, he is restricted to one boat. He may make only 60 speeches during the three-week campaign, no more than three of them on the radio. At his campaign headquarters he may serve nothing stronger than "tea and light cookies...
