Very excited today--while looking for Alaungsithu's Prayer translated by Gordon H. Luce, I found a whole special edition of The Atlantic from Feb 1958, a year after my father died.
I wonder what he would have written if he had not died.
I'll isolate the articles and post them one by one.
All the leading intellectuals of the day are represented.
For today--here is the link to the whole edition.
