...international power plays. His mind and personality are quicksilver; there is a nowhere, now-there quality to his thinking and actions that bewilders his friends and enrages his foes. A Dutch negotiator, after too long an exposure to Sukarno, cried in bafflement: "He is utterly unreliable, one day a fascist, the next a Communist; one day a friend of the white man, the next a violent enemy." No one admires such diversity more than Sukarno himself. On his s6th birthday last year, he told a crowd of well-wishers: "I was born under the sign of Gemini...

Dauntless Chin Lan Tse pursues him, falls into a ditch. What bad luck! But, no, it is good luck. For it is at this very point that the treacherous saboteur has done his foul work: water is trickling through...
What Greece was to classic Rome as a fountainhead of art and craftsmanship, Italy for more than 500 years has been to Western Europe. Temporarily cut off by Mussolini's Fascist regime, Italian painters, sculptors and architects have rebounded in the postwar years to make Rome a serious rival of Paris as Europe's art capital. At year's end in Milan and Manhattan, two of Italy's leading painters showed that in painting, as in music, a bel canto lyricism is still a trademark of Italian...
