...graphic account of KCIA activity was related last week to TIME Chicago Bureau Chief Benjamin Gate by Jai Hyon Lee, a former South Korean cultural and press attaché in Washington. Lee fell out with the Park regime and was granted asylum in the U.S. in 1973. In that year, says Lee, now an associate professor of journalism at Western Illinois University, the KCIA effectively took over the South Korean embassy. KCIA men began to hold daily "orientation" sessions in which diplomats, says Lee, were directed "to organize businessmen" in support of the Park government and to "seduce Congressmen" with...
...leading candidate for National Security Adviser is Columbia's Zbigniew Brzezinski, 48, a major foreign affairs adviser to Carter during the campaign. But former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, a law professor at the University of Georgia, who met with Carter at week's end, is pushing Benjamin Read, 51, who earned Rusk's respect as his top executive assistant during the difficult Viet Nam War policy days.

Adds Lewis, who has dealt with both Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson: "The things...

Those who have had dealings with him in his native Memphis or in Washington, where he is the first and only black member of the Federal Communications Commission, know better. Hooks, 51, is a shrewd, articulate spokesman for his race. His country cover was probably blown for good when he was named this month to succeed Roy Wilkins as executive director of the N.A.A.C.P., the country's oldest civil rights organization...
...When Dr. Benjamin Spock published his Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care back in 1946, Mary Morgan was eight years of age, just about old enough to benefit from Speck's amiable counsel on her entire generation. Three decades later, Mary Morgan Councille is an organizer of conferences, a divorcee and, as of last week, the second Mrs. Spock. The recently divorced doctor, now 73 and a vice-presidential candidate for the microscopic People's Party, met his bride last year while participating in one of her conferences on "the use and abuse of power." That...
