Subject: JUNTA INTENSIFIES CAMPAIGN TO IMPOSE A UNIFORM CULTURE. 

This article by Bertil Lintner, published in the current 
Far Eastern Economic REVIEW (dated 18 November)
seems particularly important, but the REVIEW online

Could anyone with access to an electronic version, or 
the time to key it in from the paper version, post it on the nets.

CULTURAL REVOLUTION: JUNTA
INTENSIFIES CAMPAIGN TO IMPOSE A
UNIFORM CULTURE. 
                
Burma's military government is stepping up efforts to
cement its hold on power. But while overseas political
pundits focus on the year-end reshuffling of ministers
and commanders, a more important and potentially
sinister process is taking place: Using a rewritten
history, the generals appear to be attempting to impose
a single culture across Burma, consolidating their grip
on the country and its many ethnic minorities. By Bertil
Lintner.
