Special Emissary. The fact that the would-be assassin was a Korean who lived in Japan further exacerbated relations between the two countries, which have been distinctly cool since the Kim Dae Jung affair last year. The Koreans have demanded not only that Japan apologize for the assassination attempt, but that Tokyo ban Chosoren, the chief anti-Park organization active in Japan. Premier Tanaka refuses to do this. He did, however, agree to send an emissary to Seoul to offer a compromise whereby anti-Park activities would be curtailed within the limits of Japanese...
Pandemonium broke out. As the assassin raced down the center aisle, spectators leaped from their seats and screamed. Security men rushed toward the stage. Park, displaying the cool aplomb of a professional soldier, ducked behind the bulletproof lectern while his bodyguards returned the fire.

Said a terrorist spokesman: "This is how every Arab should receive Nixon, the chief imperialist in the world." There were fears that there might be further terrorist "spectaculars" this week during the Israeli and Jordanian portions of the tour, and everywhere Nixon went security precautions were extraordinary...
...conspirator's accomplice, a poor man, was to go to the city of Recife in northeastern Brazil and there seek out a certain troublesome archbishop. "That priest," the accomplice was told, "must be eliminated." As it happened, the 1968 scenario was never played out. The would-be assassin was too softhearted to go through with the murder. Instead, he went to his intended victim, confessed the plot and warned him that others might...
