...morning last week, two U.N. columns jumped off for the final assault on the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. The 5th Regiment of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division drove out of the mountains 16 miles south of Pyongyang. The R.O.K. 1st Division punched in from a point eight miles southeast of the city.

Five years ago the city's Communist rulers had sawed off the head of General Paik's baby...

The weather was a bit too warm, foliage cut down visibility, and there had been no early snows to drive deer and elk from the high areas. But the early-season shooting was fairly good nonetheless. Stalking through the valleys, over barren ridges, through clumps of quaking aspen and oak brush, across rocky peaks, the luckier hunters had plenty of chances at game...
