Compared with the swaggering Sukarno, whom he replaced last year as Indonesia's top man, General Suharto is a cautious and colorless fellow-which is just what Indonesia needs. He rules Indonesia with such quiet modesty and attention to detail that his advisers have been constantly prodding him to make more speeches and exert more power. Last week Suharto showed that he can act as forcefully, if not as flamboyantly, as Sukarno. In what he mildly called "a redressing," he announced his first big Cabinet shakeup, a move that consolidated his own power and clearly reflected his confident control...
...President woke up too. Then, as they guessed what Lynda Bird was driving at, the Johnsons hauled their eldest daughter into bed with them and listened to her tell the news of her decision to marry Chuck Robb. Now the story has been broken in all its homey detail by the Washington Post, which pirated Lynda Bird's own account of the episode from the still-unreleased November issue of McCall...

And after playing it taut upper lip until the last moment, the film goes soft when...
...only from vantages barred to the earthbound photographer; 2) shots of objects which have apparently never been photographed, like the prints which seem to show Russian Vostok rockets orbiting in space; 3) Serios's near-misses, in which a thoughtograph duplicates an object or building, but with some crucial detail altered, like the plate of the Central City, Colo., Opera House (reproduced on p. S-1), which is a match for the genuine article except that it bears a playbill where the building shows only a discolored patch of brick, and that it shows the building with its windows bricked...
