Corruption Charges. Despite the landslide, it was the hardest-fought election in South Korea's postwar history. The challenger, a newspaper publisher turned politician who has been elected to the National Assembly three times, excited Korean voters with his flair for baby kissing, dramatic rhetoric, mudslinging, and boundless ability to concoct campaign promises. Kim zeroed in on the corruption that plagues the regime. "More than 300 of Park's top men have made up to $100 million each under his rule!" he cried. "As long as President Park remains in power, corruption will not be rooted...

Into The Leper are woven the themes that run through the later books: the subtle corruption of sensuality, the deep self-loathing that accompanies love, the glimmer...
...grown horrified by much of what he had wrought. From his sick room he railed against the strangulating Soviet bureaucracy and denounced the "Russian chauvinism" that he saw crushing the rights of national minorities. In his testament, which has never been published in Russia, he wrote that Stalin "concentrated boundless power in his hands, and I am not certain he can always use this power with sufficient caution." In a final postscript to his will, he vainly pleaded that Stalin be removed as general secretary of the party...
