"He was a great man," said Sumartini, 65, who came from a nearby village with her four children to watch the funeral procession. "His death touched us deeply." Suharto loyalists, who run the courts, called for forgiveness and a clearing of his name. But survivors want those responsible for atrocities to be held accountable. Edited by Will Shortz Sudoku™ I www.sudoku.com — The coffin of former Indonesian President Suharto is carried to an ambulance to be taken to an airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Monday morning for the journey to the family's hometown Solo where his state funeral was planned later in the day. The former dictator died Sunday after a lengthy hospital stay.

Suharto wasfinallytoppled by mass street protests in 1998 at the peak of the 1997-1998 Asianfinancialcrisis. His departure from office opened the way for democracy in this predominantly Muslim nation of 235 million people, and he withdrew from public life, rarely venturing from his comfortable Jakarta villa. Monson is Hinckley's likely successor 33/19 Today T 6 NEWS In Brief Egypt blocks fleeing Gazans SOLOt Indonesia—Former Indonesian dictator Suharto, a U.S. Cold War ally whose military regime killed hundreds of thousands of left-wing opponents, was buried Monday at a state funeral with full military honors as tens of thousands mourned. Throngs of Indonesians lined the streets to watch a motorcade carry his body to the family mausoleum. Many sobbed and called out the name of the man whose threedecade rule, though harsh, brought stability and economic growth to Indonesia. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono led the ceremony, which began just before noon at the mausoleum near Suharto's hometown of Solo, some 250 miles east of the capital. After a reading of Suharto's military accomplishments, a shot was fired in his honor and Yudhoyono offered a salute. "We offer his body to the motherland," Yudhoyono said. "His service is an-example to us." Islamic prayers were said and as his body was lowered, mourners tossed flower petals into his grave. A military band played a dirge. Suharto died Sunday of multiple organ failure after more than three weeks on life support at a Jakarta hospital. He was 86.

The 80-year-old is a folksy orator known for his compassion, fondness for modern-day parables of struggle and spiritual triumph, and willingness to enlist non-Mormons in humanitarian causes. He repeatedly talks of being spiritually prompted to help the disadvantaged and outcast, a lesson he learned during the waning years of the Great Depression. "I remember that time and time again those who were riding the rails came to our home. I think they had it marked," Monson told The Salt Lake Tribune in a 1998 interview. "I can see (a hobo) now, holding his cap in his hand. He asks, 'Is there something I can do to earn a sandwich?' My mother would say, 'You come right in and sit down; wash your hands over there in the sink.* And then she'd make a sandwich." A tall man with a big grin, Monson is "a robust, buoyant, whirlwind of a man who might have been a superb basketball player in his youth had it not been required of hinx..(to) forgo the pleasure of extracurricular school activities in order to work at his father's side in the printing business," fellow apostle Jeffrey R. Holland wrote in a biographical essay. It didn't take long for LDS leaders to recognize Monson's leadership skills. He was called as bishop of Salt Lake City's SixthSeventh Ward at 22 and became noted for making it a point to visit elderly widows in his ward. It is a practice that has never left him. Five years after being named a bishop, Monson became a counselor in the three-man presidency of Salt Lake City's Temple View Stake and five years later president of the church's Canadian Mission, a post he held from 1959 to 1962. Just one year later, in 1963, then President David O. McKay called him to fill a vacancy in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, making him one of the youngest men in the 20th century to be called to this powerful quorum. Monson was an envoy for the church, dealing with governments wary of the LDS Church's presence in their nations and the legal issues involved. His two decades of quiet efforts in Eastern Europe culminated in the announcement of an LDS temple in Freiberg, Germany, behind the Iron Curtain. In November 1985, Monson joined the church's governing First Presidency as second counselor to President Ezra Taft Benson. He remained as second counselor in Howard W. Hunter's subsequent eightmonth presidency and, in 1995, became Hinckley's first counselor. In that capacity, Monson took on ecumenical and welfare issues. He had many regular meetings with leaders of Utah's other faiths and developed friendships with then-Catholic Bishop George H. Niederauer and his predecessor in the Salt Lake Diocese, William K. Weigand. Advertising'801 581.7041 RAFAH, Egypt—In its first public criticism of Gaza's Hamas rulers, Egypt complained Saturday of "provocations" during the Gaza-Egypt border crisis and said more than three dozen members of its security forces were hospitalized as a result. The border, which was initially breached by Hamas militants, remained open for a fourth day, though Egyptian security forces blocked Gazans from driving beyond the border town of Rafah itself. Egyptian border guards were now authorized to return fire if attacked, said a security official speaking on customary condition of anonymity on the Egyptian side of RafalL Over the past two days, 38 Egyptian security forces have been wounded—some seriously— after Palestinians hurled stones and shot at them at the border, Egypt's foreign minister said. Riot kills 7 in Lebanese capital BEIRUT, Lebanon—Protesters angry about electricity rationing clashed with Lebanese troops Sunday in Beirut's worst riots in a year, leaving seven people dead, hospital and security officials said. Hundreds of Shiite Muslims opposed to the government rioted and burned tires, blocking some major roads in the Lebanese capital and its southern suburbs. Lebanese soldiers fired into the air to disperse the crowd, but it was unclear how the deaths occurred and whether the soldiers also intentionally fired on civilians. Ethnic clashes claim 7 in Kenya NAKURU, Kenya—Gangs armed with machetes and bows and arrows burned and hacked to death members of a rival tribe in the western Kenyan town of Naivasha on Sunday as overwhelmed police stood by helplessly. At least seven people were killed The fighting was the latest flashpoint of violence over President Mwai Kibaki's* disputed reelection in the U.S.-allied African nation once considered a beacon of stability on the continent. Groups from Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe set ablaze the homes of Luo rivals in the center of the town, about 55 miles northwest of Nairobi, the capital. Police did not intervene. Paulson pushes Senate action WASHINGTON—President Bush's chief negotiator on an economic aid deal said Sunday the Senate should quickly get behind a plan or risk drawing the resentment of a frustrated public The president and House leaders have agreed on a proposal to provide tax rebate checks to ny million families and give businesses $50 billion in incentives to invest in new plants and equipment. The goal is to help head off a recession and boost consumer confidence. But many senators say they are entitled to their ideas and that they never agreed to be deferential to the House and the White House on the final terms. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., agreed that the negotiations should move through the House first, but he and other senators still want to have input.
