...guts?" The rest of the story is a picture precisely of that, as Idulfitri engages in Godot-like banter with a fellow revolutionary turned rake while they scrounge for a meal. Eventually they sell a monitor-lizard-skin wallet to a hawker on South Gambir Street (now Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, home to banks and the U.S. embassy) for satay money. Before that, they doze in a corner of the square popular with "shadows of the night" like Aminah, a prostitute from the lurid tale "News from Kebajoran." She dies in a fit of delirium on a cold concrete bench...
...tone with an 8-5 win over the Marquette’s Niko Boulieris and Jonathan Schwerin. The point was sealed by junior Michael Hayes and freshman Alistair Felton at No. 2; the duo combined to save numerous break points, before Hayes’ delicate volley consigned Dusan Medan and Rutherford to an 8-6 defeat. Moments later at No. 1, senior captain and No. 65 in the nation Chris Clayton and sophomore Alexei Chijoff-Evans applied gloss to the doubles point, overcoming Trent Hagan and Stephen Shao in an 8-4 win. But if Harvard was under any illusions...
...million passengers fly with small Indonesian carriers like Adam Air, which launched in 2003. Many have spotty safety records. A Boeing MD-82 operated by Lion Air crashed in Solo in 2004, killing 25 of the 141 people on board, and a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737 crashed in Medan, Indonesia's third-largest city, in September 2005, killing all 102 on board and 47 residents on the ground. In 2006 there were at least 15 aircraft accidents in Indonesia, resulting in 14 fatalities. One foreign resident tells of an Adam Air flight last year from Jakarta to Lombok which left...
...long after the Kopassus sped off, the new crew dropped the hostages with food and water on a deserted island off the east Sumatran coast near Kualatungkal. They also left the inside man so as not to arouse suspicion. Then they headed northwest, back past Singapore, skirting Melaka and Medan. Over the next seven days, while the captain sailed, the crew of 14 worked, repainting the entire ship and plastering a new English name over the Thai lettering on the bow. Off the Maldives, they rendezvoused with another tanker and the Hong Kong crime lord. The palm oil was pumped...
...Tengku Lukman Sinar, born in 1933, lives in one of Medan's leafier neighborhoods in a spacious house with a driveway and a satellite dish. He can use the honorific "tengku" because his father was a Sultan, the last Sultan of Serdang. Other descendants of Sultans dropped the tengku because their fathers, many of whom were allied with the colonizing Dutch, were jailed or murdered during the independence campaigns of the 1940s. Sinar's father died in 1946, but of natural causes. He had allied himself with Sukarno. A wise choice, though his family was still marched...
