An old pickup truck caught up with them from behind. Shotgun bursts smashed the deputies' rear window. Then the truck drew abreast of the car. A second volley ripped out. It caught Rogers in the shoulder and blew Moore's head open...
Organized by a bearded Franco-American collagist, Jean-Jacques Lebel, 28, the festival drew the violent participation of some 60 Montparnasse artists and their friends. Among the 2,000 onlookers were many of the old surrealists, Dadaists and other proponents of artistic anarchy, (as well as Painter Marcel Duchamp and Philosopher Jean Wahl, who introduced Heidegger to Sartre).

Appearing at the stadium named in his honor, Bung (Brother) Karno applauded the P.K.I, as "a very important factor in the Indonesian revolution." His 33-minute speech drew cheers from such honored guests as the Red Chinese, Albanian, North Vietnamese and Cuban delegations.

Normally, European-owned factories switch workers to other assignments or put them on half-day shifts, but almost never fire them outright. Machines Bull-General Electric a month ago drew black headlines and angry cries of "Paris is not Arizona!" when it laid off 500 workers. When the U.S.-owned Beloit-Italia paper machinery plant near Turin tried to lay off 300 employees recently, workers invaded the factory in protest and occupied it for eleven days. They were fed through...
