Sung Joon's attention strayed from the TV to his father's key ring, a great metallic wreath. Why, he asked, so many keys? "Are there so many thieves in America?" In Seoul, they had lived without locks, and the father had carried only car keys. As Park explained that keys were necessary in this country, his wife drew a visitor aside. She said she was certain she would enjoy her new life, but for now it was something of a strain. They had had to sell their home and furnishings, coming here carrying only clothes. The worst part...
...wife Seon Kyung, 35, respectively a mechanical engineer and a nurse, arrived from South Korea in 1974 to live with Nam's brother in Michigan. Nam pumped gas for the first year, saving enough to open his own filling station, then a body shop, then a used-car dealership. His wife, meanwhile, started a jewelry store. In 1979 the Nams sold their businesses and set out for Los Angeles, where Nam attended dry-cleaning school and within six months made a $20,000 down payment on a store.

United may attempt to link some of its services. Passengers, for example, could pick up boarding passes and drop off luggage at Hertz counters. The Hertz acquisition is part of United's corporate strategy of building a company that comprises several parts of the travel business.

...sprightly romantic comedy on the Oedipal dilemma? As Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a pleasant 1985-style teenager, exclaims to his shock and chagrin, "My mom has the hots for me!" This takes some explaining. Marty's pal, an aged, eccentric scientist (Christopher Lloyd), has fashioned a De Lorean car into a functioning time machine. Suddenly, Marty finds himself in 1955, in the bedroom of the 17-year-old girl (Lea Thompson) who will be his mother, if -- big if -- he can deflect her crush on him toward the nice-guy nerd (Crispin Glover) who will be his father...
