The Ultimate Violence of Self Immolation Protests
The piece contrasts Quang Duc’s 1963 self immolation in Saigon with later acts by Norman Morrison and Roger La Porte in Washington and New York. It notes Western shock, the mix of courage and fanaticism, and the irony that such protests drew sympathy for loved ones rather than universal meaning, ending with the assertion that self violence provokes only ashes of despair.

Inflation Fears Dwindle As Economists See Stabilizing 1965
The article argues that 1985 may be the most inflationary year since 1961 but forecasts from President advisers are cautiously optimistic. It notes a 1.3 percent rise in consumer prices in the first eight months of 1965, with August down 0.2 percent, suggesting a year-end total between 1.5 and 2 percent. It highlights food, meat, and produce price spikes driven by weather and rancher cutbacks, plus anticipated fall price increases in shoes and apparel. It also cites negligible wage-cost escalation and ongoing government tax relief for durable goods and toiletries, while warning that future outlays for Great Society programs and the Vietnam War could stress inflation.
