Asia Society in New York on Monday, Hillary Clinton’s chief
foreign policy advisor, Jake
Sullivan, discussed U.S. strategy in Asia and the
Middle East. He said that China has not fully lived up to its
responsibilities as a world power, and that Clinton’s presumptive
opponent, Donald
Trump, has been wholly inconsistent on his foreign

Last Saturday at Asia Society in New
York, the dhalang
Ki Midiyanto
performed Déwa Ruci (Bima's Spiritual Enlightenment), a show of
traditional wayang
kulit Javanese shadow puppetry. Based on the stories of
the ancient epic, the Mahabharata, wayang can range from the highest
expression of classical performance to slapstick comedy, including
sly political commentary on the news of the day.
