...Colonels. His was not the only voice raised in protest. To the impatient military commanders of the Outer Islands, nothing seemed to come from Djakarta except the sound of falling Cabinets and the noise of futile oratory. These young, vigorously anti-Communist colonels were a new factor in Indonesia's tumbling political confusion. The Outer Islands, and Sumatra in particular, produce nearly 100% of Indonesia's exports, while overpopulated Java has always been a deficit area.

Dr. James Van Allen of the University of Iowa says that a radio station in Tokyo that was picking up the satellite's signals last week noted a sudden increase in cosmic rays to as much as five times above normal. If this observation...
...only gainers. Salesmen cover more ground, land more contracts; engineers and troubleshooting supervisors can move around faster. Beyond ordinary personnel transport, private planes are invaluable to rush delivery of critical orders, speed repair parts to outlying plants, or perform any other task where time is the vital factor...
