» Arturo Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler were two of the greatest conductors of classical music of the last century. Their approaches to performance were quite different.

Lessons from Thai votes on Jerusalem
News, Kavi Chongkittavorn, Published on 02/01/2018
» Thailand made a historic decision on 21 Dec to join 127 other United Nations member states in rejecting the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Stop press intimidation
News, Editorial, Published on 02/01/2018

It rated 2017 as yet another year where the free press was regulated and intimidated by the military government. The TJA said the regime hinders the media by restricting freedom of expression.
