...medical treatment" abroad. Last November he alighted in Thailand, where he was granted political asylum. He moved into a Florida-style villa in one of Bangkok's heavily American suburbs and started to style himself as a budding Castro. For many months, as he told TIME Correspondent Stanley Cloud last week, he and his group of aging Burmese exiles lived "from hand to mouth." Then, some time last summer, funds started coming in from "individual friends," who are said to include Swiss financiers and Hong Kong Chinese...
...Erzurum-Kars rail line. Turkish military observers had a different line of speculation. They said that the generals had taken a detour to catch a glimpse of the heavily guarded Russian border near the picturesque Turkish town of Ani, the ancient walled capital of Armenia. Emerging from a cloud bank, they picked up the Leninakan radio beaconwhich just happened to be set on precisely the same frequency as the beacon that normally comes from the Kars radio tower. Whether the Soviets deliberately lured the plane off course is uncertain, but the U.S. is convinced that it has happened...
...headed south in 1794. There is an almost schizophrenic gap between his early landscapes, conceived in reverent imitation of Poussin, and a later painting like Macbeth and the Witches (1834). It is a full-blown response to Goethe's Sturm und Drang, with its flailing energies of cloud and sea, its Gothic spikiness, and its perverse adoption of Michelangelo's image of God on the Sistine ceiling for the pointing gesture of the first witch...
...MIDWEST. The Democrats did best of all in a traditionally Republican region, taking five governorships from the Republicans. Ohio was their most important triumph; scandals over the handling of state loans blunted Republican Roger Cloud's law-and-order attack on former Representative John Gilligan, an attractive Democrat. Because spreading effects of the General Motors strike were putting Ohioans out of work, Gilligan pointed out that Cloud once voted against paying unemployment benefits to workers idled by a strike at another company. Gilligan is a reddish-haired, booming-voiced Irish American with a crushing handshake and a fiery temper...
...Sias Laboratories in Brookline, Mass., discovered that auto exhaust and industrial fumes create a new atmospheric phenomenon-a layer of "dead sky" composed of tiny, concentrated particles. Unmoved by either wind or rain, the ever thickening mass of filth hovers over Boston-and presumably other cities. The stagnant cloud has a faint silver lining: while making Boston's rain heavier, it will divert major storms from the city. The researchers do not yet know the dead sky's effect on human health...
