Last week, after 68 days' gadding about the world, from Stockholm to Hollywood, from anti-Communist Turkey to Communist Viet Nam, jovial President Sukarno flew back to his stricken land. Anticipating his arrival, army commanders converged on the capital, took rooms in the rambling red brick Hotel des Indes, discussed the situation far into the night.

Tiger is a Trinidad peasant who made a half charming, half pathetic appearance in A Brighter Sun (TIME, Jan. 19, 1953). In that book, Tiger went from mud hut to modest brick house on wartime U.S. dollars. Now Tiger is back, and he has two major problems.
