...skilled hand of Secretary-General Dipa Nusantara Aidit, the P.K.I, had risen from virtual oblivion after a 1948 coup attempt to a membership of 3,000,000-not including the 14 million members of its labor and youth fronts. At the suggestion of Chou Enlai, Sukarno had given the green light for a massive People's Militia, which the Communists intended to use to contain the army-their only possible rival in any struggle for power. In addition, they were infiltrating the army. On the teeming island of Java, home of 65% of the population, the military was estimated...
...Green Stealer. Many of them are still as green as their infield rug, but they have lots of time for growing. The team's average age is 23.8 years. All-Star Second Baseman Joe Morgan, 22, whom the Astros plucked three years ago from California's Oakland City College, was hitting .315 until last week, when a batting-practice liner crunched into his right kneecap, putting him out for three weeks. With Rookie Shortstop Sonny Jackson, 21, a .296 hitter who fields like a jackrabbit and steals bases on the side (24 this year), the Astros have...

Goggled pilots, scarves tucked into their leather daredevil jackets, scramble aloft to trigger a full-throttle facsimile of the epic aerial combats of 1918. Of course, as members of an enemy German squadron, the men in their flying machines are shown to be less than magnificent...

To surfboard enthusiasts, a new wave film is an epic celebrating the cool of a bronzed athlete atop a ten-foot slab of polyurethane foam, shooting through a tunnel of sea-green water formed by a breaker's curl. "The ultimate thing in surfing is to be covered up by the wave," says Bruce Brown, a blond, 28-year-old Californian who probably qualifies as the world's foremost exponent of pleasure before business. A Bergman of the boards, Brown makes his pleasures pay, and has pushed his income into a fun-filled six-figure bracket...
...sentimental Duke is clothed in rich blue and green brocade, and the garments of his companions are equally handsome, Olivia, in mourning for her brother, wears brown and black, and carries a conical parasol. Her conniving uncle Sir Today, a toper, is a monstrous barrel of rose wine come to life, with a wide sash just barely able to function as a hoop to keep the barrel from bursting. The foolish Sir Andrew is dothed in an orange and claret that are subtly incompatible...
