Things are seldom what they seem in Indonesia. After last October's coup, rumors flew through Djakarta that President Sukarno was either dead, seriously ill, in jail or in flight. But up he bounces, like a kid's bell-bottom toy, and last month he was back issuing decrees, making speeches, and being the same old Bung.

"All those men moaning," Julie tremulously murmurs to another young woman. "When they healed, they'd come hoping to spend their last nights of leave with me. I couldn't say no to them, could I? I'd just lost my husband at Tobruk, and I was overwhelmed...
