Though inflation still plagues Indonesia, Suharto is working hard to restore the climate for foreign investment, to draft a five-year plan and to win additional aid from Indonesia's nine major non-Communist creditors, who will meet in Amsterdam next week to decide how far they will go along with Suharto. One little example of Suharto's personal impact is the recent proliferation of his portrait throughout Indonesia. About the only place Sukarno's face still shows is on the old rupiah bills that his free-spending ways helped make almost worthless...
...nation that, with 6% of the world's population, can outproduce all the Communist countries combined and account for more than 42% of the entire output of the non-Communist world, is bound to be envied, feared and often hated. But it is also bound to be emulated, particularly when its performance is compared with that of the world's other superpower. With 30 million more people than there are in the U.S., the Soviet Union (see cover story) has a G.N.P. that is less than half as large as America...
...Senate, the newly chosen House mirrors the frailties and divisions of Vietnamese political life. Though the average age of the winning candidates is 40, few have any experience in national politics, and only about half possess any identifiable political allegiance.

Amid a rush of requests for Peace Corps volunteers from all over the non-Communist world, he submitted a 1968 budget of $118.7 million, up from last year's $110 million, to put 17,750 workers and trainees into 58 countries by next September. "It costs less money to make peace than war," Vaughn reminded the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "But it still costs a lot." Last week the message got through. While the House panel followed the Senate in trimming 3% from his requested budget, in a period of all-round...
Action taken in Singapore, said Lee, is an example of a better solution to a problem such as Vietnam. The Prime Minister explained that the British, finding that they could not resist both the Communists and the nationalists, allowed power to go to "the most competent of the non-Communist groups." He boasted that in a free ballot today the Communist would receive no more than 13 per cent of the vote...
