...returned to Indonesia. Since the Communists' coup attempt last September, the army has looked the other way while Moslem mobs killed at least 100,000 members and supporters of Indonesia's pro-Peking Communist Party. And now the purge was spreading south from Sumatra and Java to Bali. Nor was it the press of business that kept hubby at home; Sukarno is said to have made elaborate visible arrangements to accompany Dewi. At the last minute Defense Minister Abdul Haris Nasution said...
...Room. A rare blend of innkeeper and conservationist, Rockefeller has until now specialized in the Caribbean, building quiet, out-of-the-way resorts on Bali-Ha'i beaches with 24-carat accommodations-Caneel Bay on St. John's, Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda, Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico. Mauna Kea may prove his biggest resort investment so far. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the hotel is a tiered, four-story structure whose 154 rooms surround palm-filled inner courtyards. Guests with rooms facing west gaze out on a beach with sand the consistency of powdered sugar...
Nauru is no Bali Ha'i, but it suits its 2,700 inhabitants down to the ground. Since the ground is almost solid phosphate, the natives support themselves by selling it off at the rate of some 1,800,000 tons a year.

Over the whole scene reared a 40-ft. hammer and sickle woven from straw and bamboo...
...areas, Sukarno laced Djakarta's avenues with flags and festive arches, assigned each of the 35 Afro-Asian emissaries-from Chou En-lai to Imperial Princess Ashraf of Iran-his own personal motorcade, complete with screaming sirens. Best of all was the state banquet, held in the candlelit Bali Room of the Hotel Indonesia. There, while Javanese maidens crooned native melodies, Sukarno fed his guests three French wines and six full courses-including sto Bandung (a rice stew) and a flaming ice cream dish titled bombe glacée Afro-Asia...
