...venerable Indonesian tactic of sabar: the quality of biding time, to let the opponent make the mistakes. Unfortunately, in Western eyes, sabar is sometimes indistinguishable from paralysis. Sukarno was making mistakes, by leaning increasingly on the Communists and by straining his already weak economic position (last week the rupiah shot to an alltime high of 61 to the U.S. dollar- v. 11.4 for the official rate-on the free market). But it seemed clear that it would take more than sabar to bring him down...
Through World War II, Pastor Etienne Mathiot of the French Reformed Church gave .refuge to hundreds of fleeing Jews, shot-down British pilots, escaped French prisoners and resistance fighters. Last year at his home in Belfort, near the Swiss border, he gave sanctuary to another hunted man. Si Ali Lahouedi, a student sought by the French police as a member of Algeria's Front de Liberation National. After hiding Si Ali in his house for weeks, Pastor Mathiot drove the fugitive to Switzerland. French police arrested the minister shortly after his return, charged him with treason. The trial stirred...
...Twelve-Hour Grand Prix of Endurance killed off so many major entries so fast. Britain's class-conscious Jaguars died early. The green Aston-Martins took a little longer to come apart, but when Britain's Stirling Moss brought his to the pits with its gear box shot, the Aston-Martins were out of the running.

By the time the cars droned into darkness and the prissy little blat-blat-blatting of small-car exhausts sounded more prominent as their big brothers collapsed, the Ferrari brakes were shot. Burned-out linings dropped off in frightening ashy hunks. But they had lasted just long enough. The Ferraris rolled easily to a finish that was strictly a family affair. Collins and his co-driver, California's Phil Hill, coasted home first. Another factory-entered Ferrari was an easy second. In third place came a perky little Porsche Spyder (1,587 cc.) that had played...
...growing ad agency on Madison Avenue is a quiet, unspectacular shop where research-one of advertising's most sacred cows-has been put out to pasture and ignored. From billings of $2,000,000 a year after it started in 1949, Manhattan's Doyle Dane Bernbach has shot up to $20 million-and the growth of its reputation has been even more spectacular. Reason: Doyle Dane Bernbach believes that copy is more important than market research, graphs, formal presentations and much of the other paraphernalia that dominate many agencies. Says Agency President William Bernbach, 46: "We get people...
