Unique among postwar efforts to aid the world's poor, the new bank-a brainchild of the U.N.'s Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East-was inspired largely by Asians themselves. In contrast to the U.S.-led World Bank and the U.S.-dominated InterAmerican Bank, it will be run largely by Asians. At Bangkok this week and next, the sponsoring nations are expected to decide how the organization will be set up and where it will be located, thus paving the way for a ministerial meeting to be held Nov. 29 in Manila to sign...
Ever since it was founded last July, the Courier has been digging out and printing civil rights news that most other Southern papers ignore.

Simon Jr. By its projected completion in 1980, it will house 75,000 people in seven villages, have over 1,600 acres of recreational areas, including two 18-hole and three nine-hole golf courses, a natural and an artificial lake, and a horse stable (the nearest village will have hitching posts in front of its stores), plus a plethora of community-owned pools, tennis...
Unborn Child. By 1927, in short, Turkey had the legal structure of a modern European nation. Its actual structure was something else again. In the Turkish Republic, Kemal had created a political fiction, a brainchild he would not allow to be born. He retained power, and as the years went by he used it more and more autocratically. He vetted the elections, rigged the Assembly, purged his enemies...
