...first the MIGs tried to form into a huge circle one behind the other, a new Communist tactic* the Nationalists described as "like Indians attacking a wagon train," in which "individual flying ability counts for little," since every plane's vulnerable tail is protected by the plane behind it. But the Sabre jets' quick passes into the circle made short work of that, and for 20 minutes-long for a jet battle -the planes whirled in a melee ranging from 40,000 ft. all the way down to the sea. When it was all over, four MIGs were...
...Sukarno himself is less a strongman than a symbol. He must rule in partnership, and only two organizations-the army and the Communist Party-have the efficiency and administrative knack to help him govern. In naming his ten-man "inner" Cabinet last week, Sukarno clearly chose the army. Not a single post went to a Communist or a fellow traveler. Able ex-Premier Djuanda was named First Minister and Finance Minister. The army got two plums: the important Ministry of Security and Defense went to Army Commander Lieut. General A. Haris Nasution and the Production Ministry to Colonel Suprajogi...

But not since...
...friends pictures of his three young sons. Two of the officers drifted off to play tennis; the other six men decided to watch a Jeanne Crain movie, The Tattered Dress, on their home projector in the grey stucco mess hall. While they were absorbed in the first reel, six Communist terrorists (who obviously had cased the place well) crept out of the darkness and surrounded the mess hall. Two positioned a French MAT submachine gun in the rear window, two pushed gun muzzles through the pantry screen, the other two went to the front of the building to cover...
...wants to support Trujillo's tyranny-but inter-American treaties promise him joint aid in the event of outside aggression. Everybody would like to see the Dominican Republic turned into a working democracy-but the anti-Trujillo bands that stormed the Dominican Republic last month were led by Communist-liners, offering the prospect of chaos rather than freedom. Battling out the dilemma in tense sessions at the Organization of American States in Washington last week, the OAS member countries 1) served rude notice on Trujillo that they are not going to come to his aid, no matter what...
