...arrest of one of Korea's most prominent tycoons sent tremors through the boardrooms of the country's chaebol, the powerful, family-run conglomerates that have periodically been targeted by government prosecutors over allegations of self-dealing and influence peddling. Chung has admitted no wrongdoing, but his arrest looks likely to knock Hyundai's international expansion plans off course. The investigation into Hyundai has already delayed the construction of an auto plant in the Czech Republic, and Kia postponed the groundbreaking for a factory...
...tycoons have a history of survival. After going to prison for seven months for fraud in 2003, Chey Tae Won, chairman of oil company SK Corp., returned to his post, fighting off shareholder efforts to remove him. Still, Hahm Sung Deuk, a political economist at Korea University, says the arrest of such a prominent executive will act as a powerful warning to other businessmen: "The owners of companies will realize that this time is different."

...Treaty of San Francisco did not mention the islands in the list of surrendered Japanese territories-a fact that the Japanese use to bolster claims that the islands are still theirs. But in 1952, Seoul declared that the islets were within Korea's borders and ordered the arrest of any Japanese boat that crossed the so-called "peace line."

But if you choose to use, we want you to have these plans for Justin.'" This laissez-faire approach may make parents feel more comfortable, but it troubles critics like Marcia Robinson Lowry, executive director of Children's Rights. "Drug...
...never know what actually happened at the Duke party. It bears repeating that lack of DNA evidence does not mean that sex, forced or no, did not occur, and that a prior arrest for assault does not mean one of the accused is automatically capable of sexual assault. And it?s tough to tell whether McFayden?s e-mail was racially motivated, or just repulsively sadistic. But one thing?s certain: Women of color in this country - and, to an extent, women in general - still teeter on that fine line between being seen as exotic objects of desire and, well...
