...last October for his role in the coup) has tied Sukarno to the plot. Many Indonesians, including the militant members of KAMI and KAPPI, the student organizations that originally challenged the Communists, feel that Sukarno should stand trial. A meeting of the People's Congress this week could strip him of his title. But Sukarno still holds the loyalty of many Javanese, along with some elements of the police, marines and navy-and Suharto is willing to let him save face so long as he behaves in his new, underpowered role of President-without-portfolio. Already Suharto has quietly...
...what they are saying. At the very end of the play, however, Jones sinks into a too perceptive, responsive state. Both have passable accents; neither appears to strain to preserve it. I don't think Arthur Friedman looks like the forty-year-old man called for in the strip. This distorts his relation to Bill, a man in his twenties who rose from the lower classes by Harry's grace.

McCormack's stand particularly irritated young, liberal Congressmen, who have been increasingly unhappy about the Speaker's intractably traditionalist position. What McCormack failed to consider was that many a colleague was under heavy pressure from constituents to chastise the flamboyant Negro Congressman...
...California at Los Angeles. For the German satirical magazine Simplicissimus, he drew scathing, unsympathetic cartoons of prostitutes. Slowly, his vision of women softened to match their contours. As his nudes grew ever more evanescent in powdery pastels, they also waxed ever more erotic. "His palette is like a strip of fog," said another artist. In time, Pascin perfected the art of sfumato, the soft, smoky blending of tones from light into dark practiced by Da Vinci...
