Ancient cities hidden in Ceylonese jungles
Polonnaruwa emerges as Ceylon's best preserved ancient capital. The two jungles shape its story from tropical plains to dry brush, with grand ruins, Da Gaba domes, bathing pools, carved pillars, and stone Buddhas reflecting Grecian influence. Sigiya offers frescoed rock faces atop a towering 600 foot outcrop.

Okinawa deal eyed for this week in Washington
The United States plans a compromise on returning Okinawa to Japan during Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's Washington visit. Senate demand to vote on the agreement and calls for concessions from Japan complicate the path to reversion in 1972. Okinawa’s strategic location underpins continued U.S. military presence, with debate over nuclear weapons and future U.S. bases.
