Perhaps. But a better judge of the situation was Sukarno's Japanese third wife, the fetching Ratna Sari Dewi, who donned tight slacks to spend a Sunday on the golf links with the nation's new apparent strongman, Lieut. General Suharto (he plays; she doesn't). Word had it that she was playing a mediator's role between her husband and the new regime, attempting to talk Sukarno into giving in gracefully to the generals.

In recent weeks, Suharto and Nasution had been huddling with ranking officers in Bandung and Djakarta, and all agreed that Sukarno had to knuckle under once and for all. Finally...
