Since November 1971, Park has systematically tightened his authoritarian control over the country, rewriting the constitution and emasculating the National Assembly. Today no factions of the populace dare defy him. Park insists that he needs greater power in order to orchestrate the delicate contacts he initiated with North Korea. One set of meetings, under the aegis of the Red Cross, aims at reuniting those Korean families separated by the divided country. A second team of negotiators discuss the possibilities of unifying the two nations...
