LIBERAL Democracy in the 1950s was the most controversial era in the journey of the Republic of Indonesia. Some say it was a system imported from the West and was not the desire of the majority of the people. Others remember it as the most democratic moment in the nation’s history. The Supreme Court was still influential. Attorneys and judges were very much respected. Why did Sukarno dismiss it?       In welcoming the 62nd anniversary of Indonesia, Tempo’s special edition recalls and analyzes that era. Complete with special columns, testimonials, documents, memoirs, as well as notes from Indonesianists Ben Anderson and Boyd R. Compton.
