Presumably, all was matey, once again between Indonesia's strong-willed President Sukarno and his disenchanted "Veep," Mohammed Hatta. They had been urged back together at an unusual assemblage of 150 top Indonesian leaders-including rebel colonels from the hill-all worried by the political disintegration of their country (TIME, Sept. 23). Basking in the joys of reconciliation, Hatta and Sukarno flew off together to "Indonesia's Arlington Cemetery" in Djokjakarta to purge their souls of rancor at the grave of General Sudirman, military hero of the revolt against the Dutch. For the first time since his resignation...

...Honorable Man. As patriarch of the hacienda, Richard King sported a black beard that reached to the second button of his shirt. "He wore a wide-brimmed black hat strongly reminiscent of rebel cavalry, a black string tie with the knot hidden under the beard and the ends of the rusty silk usually askew. He went shod in the scuffed boots of a cowman no stranger to a corral. It was well known that when the captain appeared with one pants leg in and one pants leg out of his boot tops, the barometer was falling, the storm...
