...this week's issue, in addition to our European correspondents, we have been hearing extensively from our roving White House correspond; ent, Hugh Sidey, following Seán Ó Cinnéide around Germany and Ireland. And across the grey border of Berlin was TIME'S Moscow Correspondent Israel Shenker, who found himself unexpectedly invited by the East German government to watch Nikita Khrushchev appear on his own side of the Berlin Wall. Shenkers trip from Moscow to East Berlin was no ad for either German or Communist efficiency-the Communist airline officials lost his typewriter; the East...

At week's end, as he flew over the Irish Sea on his way to England, even Seán Ó Cinnéide may have looked forward to a change of pace.

Though President Sukarno of Indonesia (who is part Balinese himself) deplored the celebration as an extravagance...
...months elapsed before the mere planning of the rajah's cremation began-a reasonably brief period, since in Bali, bodies of the dead have been known to lie in state for as long as 20 years before burning. No expense was spared, lest Ide Anak Agung Ngurah Agung's dissatisfied-spirit return to haunt his family. The final cremation budget: $110,000. This included the price of a trip to far off Singapore by the rajah's eldest son; tinsel, gilded paper and assorted, brightly colored gewgaws required for the crematory tower were not available in import...
