Flying Dancers. Yet in some ways, though not out of the woods, Indonesia is out of its gravest danger. At his pleasant summer palace of Tjipanas, President Sukarno invited Djakarta's diplomatic corps to a Saturday party, and dancers were flown all the way from Amboina Island for the occasion. Sukarno, who is still preaching "guided democracy" without ever denning it, rules Indonesia through two men: 1) his hand-picked Premier Djuanda Kartawidjaja, 2) his hand-picked army Chief of Staff, Lieut. General Abdul Haris Nasution, who surprised both the rebels and foreign observers by the speed and skill...
...know of no time in our country's history when the forces of intelligent conservatism have been in greater danger of obliteration." So said Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield in the major speech before the National Association of Manufacturers' 63rd annual congress.

Gore's key point: the U.S. could test nuclear weapons underground, underwater or in outer space without danger of fallout and without sacrifice to security interests. At the same time, Gore said, the U.S. should unilaterally suspend tests in the atmosphere, not for one but for three years, as a psychological move in the cold...

But the Cuban masses refuse the danger and cost of active support for Castro and, by abstaining, line up for Batista. The eventual solution for divided Cuba is no more foreseeable than that of another violence-torn island-far-off Cyprus...
