...plotting the action on a U.S. Army map: "I am convinced that Aidit cannot escape history." So far, however, Solo's resident Napoleon has managed to escape the Indonesian army, and the odds are that he is busily rallying support for some sustained guerrilla warfare. "Mount Merapi is quiet just now too," warned one Soloist, "but watch out. Gestapu blood is still...
...campaign managers, revved up his multimillion-dollar campaign. Chief strategist and fund raiser: silver-tongued Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir. Publicity director: equally eloquent Deputy Premier Abba Eban, former Ambassador to the United Nations.

"Parents may still hope that the university will provide a pastoral, protective, quiet educational retreat for their offspring before the latter meet the cruel, cold world," he told the faculty recently, "but the present university-student generation does not look to me like a generation of lost and bewildered sheep; they seem hell-bent to take on not only the complexities of the university but also of the universe." The dissident students, he contends, "are not really running away from us. They are not proposing to expel the faculty...
