Staunch Ally. Though it is just now sending troops to Viet Nam, Thailand is already in position as a staunch ally. It now harbors 35,000 U.S. servicemen-25,000 from the Air Force, the rest mainly Army engineers and logistics experts. The total represents a threefold increase in the past year. Eleven U.S. fighter-bomber squadrons are stationed in Thailand-at Takhli, Korat, Udorn and Ubon-from which they fly about 75% of all the bombing raids on North Viet Nam. Last year
...commitments across the Pacific. Only ten months after a resounding election victory, President Ferdinand E. Marcos of the Philippines flew to Washington for a state visit that meant far more to him, and his hosts, than the usual red-carpeted round of pleasantries. For Marcos, it represented a threefold opportunity - to renew a long-standing bond of friendship with the U.S., to make a case for increased U.S. aid to bail out his stagnating econ omy, and to impress on Americans some home truths about the realities of power in Asia. With willing assistance from Washington, Marcos made the most...

Not since Korea's bleakest days has the draft loomed quite so doomful in the eyes of high school and college graduates. Induction quotas are up threefold over last year; 319,887 men have been called in the past eleven months, another 150,000 are expected to go in the next year.

Rats & Goldfish. The Abbott researchers reasoned that learning and memory might be improved by boosting the supply of RNA, and hit upon a seemingly harmless chemical, magnesium pemoline (tradenamed Cylert), which increases RNA synthesis twofold or threefold. Working with Dr. Nicholas P. Plotnikoff, the researchers put Cylert in rat feed, then placed the animals in a chamber where they had to learn to avoid an electric shock. Rats on Cylert learned after only two or three trials; rats with no Cylert took eight to ten trials. Moreover, the Cylert rats remembered their lesson as long as six months, while untreated...
