...Asia, Thanat said no. "I think what the U.S. has been doing in South Viet Nam will go into history as a courageous decision, and measures which will save not only South Viet Nam but the whole of Southeast Asia from Communist domination. In other words. Southeast Asia will owe its freedom and independence to what the United States and the soldiers are doing there...

With evidence mounting that smoking causes cancer and heart disease, many governments are now faced with a dilemma: whether to put public health ahead of fiscal health and discourage...
