Brunei Faces Slow Change Amid Rainy Isolation
In Brunei a tiny oil rich sultanate on Borneo’s northwest coast little happens day to day. Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Saadah Ki Khairi Waddin rules from a hilltop palace while Brunei remains a British protectorate with 87 miles of roads and heavy rain. Oil income seen at about 35 million dollars in 1964 supports a lifestyle framed by royal ceremony and a wary mood toward regional upheavals and the Malaysia federation.

Small Farms Struggle as Numbers Decline and Prices Lag
A letter from a Minnesota farmer reflects a broader farm crisis as small holds shrink to 120 acres while rural poverty grows. USDA data show farm numbers fell from 5.66 million in 1950 to 3.48 million in 1963 with most losses among farms under 150 acres. Prices at parity would boost output but risk gluts without controls, as mechanization raises productivity and cuts farm labor.
