Presenting the results of seventeen months of field research,
conducted entirely in the Thai language, this book describes and
compares the patterns of culture and social exchange of two groups
of Thai officials: district-level bureaucrats and physicians in a
provincial hospital.
Presenting the results of seventeen months of field research,
conducted entirely in the Thai language, this study describes and
compares the patterns of social exchange of two groups of Thai
officials: district-level bureaucrats and physicians in a
provincial hospital. Dr. Haas uses a unique combination of
anthropological field data and survey research. He is the first to
thoroughly describe the effects of the government's
counterinsurgency efforts on the behavior of local officials and on
their relations with villagers and provincial merchants; his
chapters on physicians contain one of the few published discussions
of the meaning of professionalism in non-Western societies, as well
as the only field study available of an Asian medical institution.

The Air Force's first stealth fighter has had a long and
distinguished service record for our nation providing commanders a
then revolutionary capability to fight our nation's wars. The
F-117A Nighthawk's traditional mission of knocking down the door
for conventional forces to follow will now fall upon other
capabilities in the Air Force and other armed services. This paper
analyzes and amalgamates available unclassified information
covering different aircraft and capabilities currently in the Air
Force inventory and those in production. With ever tightening
budgets, the Air Force has to make difficult decision, on which
programs to discontinue or reduce while keeping a vigilant watch to
ensure capabilities do not diminish as it restructures its force.
While the B-2 Spirit, F-22A Raptor and AGM-158 JASSM all possess
low observable characteristics, an analysis of available
unclassified information concludes that there could be a slight
capability gap but the risks are not worth the costs to continue
operating the F-117A fleet in the future.
