...southern Thailand. Linen was visiting Thailand as guest of Foreign Minister Thanat Khoman, and during his stay was honored by the King, who made him Dvitiyabhorn (Knight Commander) of the Most Noble Order of the Crown. Linen first met Thanat during TIME'S news tour of Asia last winter, when the Foreign Minister's vigor and his views of the U.S. role in Asia made a sharp impression on the U.S. business executives who were on the trip. Among Thanat's domestic responsibilities is the development of southern Thailand, and he enlisted Linen's assistance...
...Weather Bureau meteorologist blamed the blizzard on an aberration in the jet stream, the 60-200 knot current that blows from west to east at a height of 30,000 to 40,000 ft. Normally, during the winter, the stream heads out to sea around the latitude of Philadelphia, serves as a buffer between arctic cold and warm, moist southern air. This year, as if answering an airlines commercial, the stream headed on down to Jacksonville before departing the U.S., and allowed the arctic air to freeze the moisture-laden southern front on its way north. The result was already...
...more than three years, the village of Krestova in British Columbia's bleak, windswept Kootenay 'hills lay empty as a ghost town. Winter snows blanketed the black hulls of bathtubs, the skeletons of old beds, the charred frames of burnt-out houses. Wolves loped where the valleys once ran fat with cattle, and local ranchers gave the town a wide berth. Then, last week, life returned to Krestova (which in Russian means "City of the Cross"). A band of burly, hard-eyed men and women with thick Russian accents trickled back to the Kootenays. The Doukhobors were coming...
Aside from skiiers and incorrigible winterphiles, about the only people happy with this winter's deluge of snow are those concerned with the water shortage--which, of course, now encompasses just about everybody in the East. The snow, however, is not enough. Last summer, for example, New York's reservoirs were down to less than 36 per cent of capacity. Even Old Man Winter is not expected to fill this gap. Four straight years of water shortage have at least forced the federal government to consider taking an active role in planning for the future. President Johnson has already...
...Coop officials themselves have not done much more. Although they expect almost all Spring term books to be on the shelves by Feb. 7, they admit this is mostly due to the ease with which professors can be reached during the winter and is not a sign that a large textbook shortage can be prevented this Fall...
