DIED. Adam Malik. 67, eloquent, energetic Indonesian Foreign Minister from 1966 to 1977 and Vice President from 1978 to 1983, a founding father of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and one of the region's most respected statesmen; of cancer; in Bandung, Indonesia...

Meaningless slogans and acronyms echoed in the void. Sukarno's big movement on the world stage was the 1955 Bandung Conference of Nonaligned Nations, after which he moved with aplomb in Washington, Moscow or Peking. He spouted Lincoln as easily as Lenin...
