During President Sukarno's konfrontasi with Malaysia, the Indonesian army equipped, trained and sheltered guerrillas to harass the Malaysians along the two countries' common border on the island of Borneo. Now the move has boomeranged. Once Sukarno's successor, General Suharto, had ended the foolish quarrel with Malaysia, the guerrillas were left on their own in the jungles of Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo. Peking, which sees the island's large Chinese population as the advance phalanx for an ultimate Communist takeover, has been exhorting the mostly Chinese guerrillas not only to continue to offer...
Demand for Exposure. In LIFE, Governor John Connally gives his side of the story of the events leading up to Dallas. Contradicting William Manchester's contention that the President had reluctantly gone to Texas to patch up a local factional quarrel within the Democratic Party, Connally insists that Kennedy went to mend his own political fortunes.

When Atlas Credit Corp., a Philadelphia-based investment company, offered $77.50 a share to gain control of Detroit's fourth-largest Commonwealth Bank, Parsons cancelled a business trip to Chicago, huddled for 24 hours with his partners. It would have been ambitious enough just to try for a slice of the bank, but the young partners decided that nothing could be quite so satisfying as complete control. They bettered Atlas' offer by fifty cents a share, organized a public relations campaign that stressed the advantages of hometown ownership. Within three days, after tender offers were counted, Parsons...
