...Public Uproar. The frictions between the U.S. and Thailand range from the conduct of U.S. soldiers to the conduct of the war against the Communists in Thailand's North and North east. Permissive in private but somewhat puritanical in public, the Thais resent freewheeling, free-spending American ways with women; they even frown on G.I.s holding hands with Thai girls in public. In an increasingly bitter campaign, the state-guided press is attacking Americans for consorting with "hired wives," siring "redhaired babies" and "deceiving girls and making them become prostitutes." Reflecting the public uproar, the Thai Cabinet two weeks...

The 6-7 hours that the Dow Chemical man was "imprisoned" saw great student turmoil as it was virtually a constant mass meeting with students voting on all sorts of radical political questions. Along with this intellectual ferment went such ludicrous touches as the somewhat elderly campus police linking arms...
...their teachers? Is it necessary for us to even teach them how to be politically active? What is the most effective protest? This Dow incident took place in a college at a time when the whole concept of the traditional custodial care role of the college is in an uproar and the administrators faced by many complex decisions. The college is an institution which, like so many other such in our modern society, is in the process of rapid change. We find that we no longer can even think about what stress is when we find it so hard...
