When attending a Friday night gathering at Tugu Proklamasi where student activists commemorated the first anniversary of Soeharto's downfall, dozens of his admirers jostled with each other to reach him for an autograph. His fans tossed at him their jackets, T-shirts, headbands and books for a scrawl of his name.",
