...anyone's guess. The U.S. sympathizes with Malaysia, but would like to cling to some friendly ties with Indonesia, however tenuous. Sukarno may be angry at the latest U.S. loan to Malaysia for military equipment, but the Malaysians of late have been equally miffed by the proposed sale of $4,000,000 worth of communications gear by a U.S. company to Indonesia's armed forces...

Last week, as if for the edification of his distinguished guests, Ceausescu permitted Western newspapers to go on public sale for the first time-excepting of course Paris' Le Monde, which has been available for some months to the East's Gaullists...

One day a demented broker marched into Sage's office. In one hand he held a note demanding that Sage give him $1,200,000; in the other hand he held a bag of dynamite. Sage eased a visitor between himself and the dynamite, dashed for the exit. When the smoke cleared away, the broker was dead, the visitor was badly mangled, Sage...
