Indonesian leaders insisted that the trip would be a vacation, pure and simple. Sukarno's nerves had been "shattered" by the assassination attempt, they said. To back up their claim, they pointed to the fact that three physicians had certified that the President "should go abroad for distraction." They did not point out that none of the physicians had actually made a detailed examination of Sukarno, or that one other highly respected doctor, asked to make a similar certification, had refused to do so without properly examining the President.

...come to bad ends in Chicago, and of their only mourners, a writer improbably named Parkhearst Cratty and a wealthy matron most commonly called "greatwoman." Again the theme is one that could be comic-the adventures of a yokel in a big city. Again, the working out is pure terror, with murder of the body and desolation of the soul at the end. Author Purdy dislikes to be considered morbid and argues that "despair in art shows concern." All his stories are grotesque, but caught in them, like the tremble of a bird in cupped hands, is the undeniable flutter...
