    • Abstract:
      Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Indonesian president, recently released a new album of pop music titled ''I'm Sure I'll Get There.'' Though well received, the album -- his third since becoming president -- has not lifted him from the political doldrums. Hailed as a reformer and corruption fighter, Mr. Yudhoyono was re-elected in July in a landslide victory, and his approval ratings remain high. But long-running scandals, as well as what critics see as the president's indecisiveness in resolving them, have begun sapping his popularity. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
