They were celebrating the first anniversary of the student demonstrations that thrust General Suharto and his colleagues into power as Indonesia's rulers. The appearance of the song also marked the start of what, his enemies hope, will be a final drive to oust Sukarno, 65, the long-revered bapak (father) of Indonesia's revolution and the country's ruler for 22 years...

Among the "knee-bouncing" children's songs they sang were The Lamplighter's Hornpipe, in which Evelyne accompanied Beers's down-home riddle playing with the clackety-clack rhythms of "limberjacks" (a pair of loose-legged, hand-carved puppets), and a square-dance tune in which Martha played a squawky solo on the "cornstalk fiddle" by drawing a shoestring bow over the strands of a cornstalk...
