Burma in 1948 a nation rebuilding from war and empire
The piece surveys Burma after World War II, noting nationalisation of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Co and the retreat of most whites. It describes British officers remaining as advisers, local adaptations, epithets for locals, and enduring war scarred infrastructure like bombed sewers and wrecked roads as Burma charts a path under the new Burmese Republic.

Crump and Boss Rule Fall in U S Political Shift
Edward Hull Crump once called the most absolute political boss in the United States suffered a crushing defeat as his gubernatorial and senatorial candidates lost by large margins. The nationwide reaction suggested voters reject machine politics and the domination of public appointments, with Crump’s Memphis machine cited as an emblem of boss rule. Crump rose from a poor clerk to mayor and congressman, building a feared organization that could mobilize votes, punish opponents, and control jobs and public offices.
