...flight to North Celebes, where the banner of rebellion still fluttered at Menado. The Celebes' rebels had managed to buy a few B-26s "somewhere in the Pacific" and had already made bombing raids on government airfields. At Menado, too, was Colonel Alex E. Kawilarang, the former military attaché at the Indonesian embassy in Washington, who was named the rebel commander in chief. But if the rebellion could not flourish in rugged Sumatra, it was not apt to survive for long in less populous Celebes...
...benefit of Washington newsmen, the nation's least likely revolutionary reminisced about his student days at the University of Paris (1908-09). Discussing anti-American riots in Indonesia, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles commented: "I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots.

...Complete heart block," a disruption of the electrical impulses flowing over the heart, is a danger for 10% to 25% of patients, although the operation itself may have been successful. Pacemakers working through electrodes attached outside the body require too strong a current for continuous use. Better, said Dr. Lillehei, to attach one electrode to the heart at the time of operation, lead the wire out through the chest incision (the second electrode can still be placed just under the skin), and keep the pacemaker working until the danger is past. The wire then comes out as easily...
Their reasoning: increased productivity is not due primarily to labor but to capital, i.e., improved machines and methods; relative to the whole economy, labor's contribution has actually diminished. The basic point is easier to accept than the statistics K. & A. attach to it: they flatly claim that workers in the U.S. account for less than 10% of the wealth produced, while capital instruments account for more than 90%. To K. & A., this means expropriation of capital as unjust in its way as the exploitation of labor was in "primitive" 19th century capitalism...
