...Malaya. With this in view. Lee has made Malay the official language, has appointed as chief of state a Malay personage, Inche Yusof bin Ishak. So far, the Federation itself has been wary: Singapore's 1,200,000 Chinese would upset the Federation's racial balance, put the Malays in a minority...

Bell Laboratories has a programed course in basic electricity for its employees. Polaroid offers programed courses to its employees in extracurricular subjects like languages and photography. Eastman Kodak is programing logarithms, economics and industrial relations. All are using programing without machines...
