Charlie Van Doren was painfully torn between going on again this week at the risk of losing some of his big stake to a new opponent, or getting out now that he has enough to finance a "snazzy sports car" and several free summers in which to finish a thesis on Poet William Cowper and write...

The huge island of Sumatra (whose oil and rubber provide two-thirds of Indonesia's export revenue) was in open revolt against the government. Sumatrans complain that the national government, sitting in the Java capital of Djakarta, is too Java-centered.* Last week in North Sumatra, three of four government regiments were reportedly rallying to the support of Rebel Leader Colonel Maludin Simbolon, once the rising star of the Indonesian army, who is in hiding in the hills...
