...country. Outside Santo Domingo last week, a group of goons machine-gunned the car of a moderate provincial governor, killing him and seriously wounding three companions. In the capital, the Public Works Ministry was ransacked and machine-gunned by a 15-man group that identified itself as the "Democratic Anti-Communist Commando No. 1." At week's end, there were reports of similar raids in the usually placid interior city of Santiago...
This did not mean that the army was broadly anti-Communist or pro-West, since Marxism and Communism remain respectable among most Indonesians, including the military. Indeed, with Nasution's obvious approval, Sukarno last week set about salvaging what he could of his beloved Nasakom-the tenuous blend of nationalism, religion and Communism on which political control in Indonesia has long been balanced. Part of the salvage plan: formation of a "new" Communist Party based on nationalism and Indonesian self-interest rather than Peking's influence. Aidit, who was believed still hiding out in Middle Java, was branded...
...raging call to revolt echoed through Rio de Janeiro last week. It came from Carlos Lacerda, 51, Brazil's perpetually angry man. Lacerda was one of the leaders of Brazil's anti-Communist revolution 19 months ago, but now he turned on the regime he had helped to power.

More recently, the department has been metaphorically denounced as a "bowl of jelly" (President Kennedy), drowning not only in its "booze allowance" (Congressman John Rooney) but under a flood of paper work springing from "the bureaucratic necessity that everyone has to write so much to justify his existence" (Ambassador to Kenya William Attwood), while working under an overall policy based on "the lowest anti-Communist denominator" (Professor Hans Morgenthau) with a surplus of "pedestrian people" (former Ambassador James Gavin) headed...
...huge anti-Communist rally was held at Bung Karno Stadium, and thousands of students paraded in Djakarta's streets shouting "Kill Aidit!" and "Dissolve the Communist Party!" As approving soldiers looked on, the crowd set fire to Communist headquarters, completely destroying the one-story building. Since this was Indonesia, the students left untouched the nearly finished five-story Red headquarters in the next street. To add to the confusion, one group of students marched to the U.S. embassy to shout "Long live America!" while another group chanted the accusation that the CIA was backing the Indonesian Communist Party...
