...Cue. Hatta pointedly underscored what every informed Indonesian knew already: that the country has almost no navy or air force and could not possibly take Netherlands New Guinea forcibly no matter how belligerently Sukarno & Co. may sound off in Djakarta. "Our youth." said Hatta, "should not be asked to swim across the ocean to get West Irian. It is not through war that we will get back West Irian but by peaceful ways and means...

Blanket Coverage. To the New York Herald Tribune's rumpled, rotund Art Buchwald, 32, whose tongue-in-cheeky, Paris-based column (TIME, Sept. 16) is carried by 46 other U.S. papers and the Paris Trib, the portentous triviality of the questions offered an irresistible cue for lampoonery.

Jumping their cue by two days, 1,500 Greek teen-agers swirled into the twisted alleyways of Nicosia, swarmed into a cathedral chanting: "Enosis" (Union with Greece).

Probably nowhere in the world is there a college president quite like Frank Beu (rhymes with cue) of Western Illinois University. A skinny, owlish man of 59, he runs his compact (2,600 students) campus in Macomb (pop. 10,592) as if he, and not the state, were the owner. When he is not enjoying his paneled and well-equipped office (TV, hifi, radio, air conditioning), he is apt to be stomping about outside, shooting at pigeons with a shotgun, or scaring away stray dogs with a BB gun ("I don't see anything wrong with that. Some have...
