The most vicious pressure of all is applied against Lamar by a member of his own race, a Mr. Barton, who acts as a "blockbuster," attempting to spread panic among the whites in order to purchase their homes at distress prices and resell to Negroes...
...wounded off to city hospitals, regiments of students, most of them still unbelievably clinging to their satchels full of books, continued to advance on the palace. By now, the building of the pro-government newspaper, Seoul Shinmun, was burning, and so was the headquarters of Rhee's bullyboy Anti-Communist Youth League. From behind the heavy gates of Lee Ki Poong's home, police guards were firing into the crowd. Outside the city hall, students were beating two policemen to death with lead pipes...
