Family Planning in Taiwan: An Experiment in Social Change (Princeton Legacy Library)

The experimental family planning program begun in 1963 in Taichung, the provincial capital of Taiwan, was the largest intensive program of its kind ever to be carried out for a sizable concentrated population. Its use of systematic observation and measurements was also unique. In evaluating the program and the data gathered, the authors seek to establish the extent to which the decline in Taiwan's fertility level resulted from the program rather than from the changes already underway in the society at that time. Finally, two vital questions occupy them: What has been learned in Taiwan, and how much of this can be applied to other developing countries with rapid population growth?
Originally published in 1969.

In early November 1952, 2nd Lt. Ron Freedman, along with 900 members of his battalion, boarded a military transport ship—destination … South Korea. While onboard, Ron was given fifty Christmas cards and told to write home. He couldn’t remember if he had fifty friends, but he did remember Nancy “Pete” Smith, a girl he’d once dated in Boston. Their correspondence continued throughout one of the most turbulent years of the Korean War - 1953. In May 1953, not long after the first battle of Pork Chop Hill, Lt. Freedman transferred to the 7th Infantry Division as a Forward Observer, 48th Field Artillery Battalion. His service earned him the Silver Star … and a Purple Heart. Many have written about the Korean War, and the two desperate battles of Pork Chop Hill in particular. Love Letters to Pete tells the personal story of one soldier who took part in the 2nd Battle for Pork Chop Hill. But the letters he wrote to future wife Nancy “Pete” Smith don’t tell all of the story. Now, 60 years later, Ron gives details of actions not told in those letters. Together the comments and letters in Love Letters to Pete give a complete picture of life at war—the boredom, endless training, friendships, battles, and an almost casual heroism, as told by one who lived it to the one he loved.
