"In the early 1960's, two important events also took place which Poulgrain's research now shows to have been inked wit disturbing similarity to, both with Indonesia: first came the tragic death of United Nations General Secretary Dag Hammarskjold in 1961: and then the plan of US President John F. Kennedy to visit Indonesia in early 1964-- a visit from which a political landscape of Indonesia and Southeast Asai would have resulted utterly different from what we see today-- instead ended with the assassination in November, 1963.
That we all know. But how many of us realize that all (repeat all) of these events were actually closely related to each other? Perhaps not many of us do"
