...down Rhee in 1960 erupted against Park. After rock-throwing clashes countered by tear gas, the police managed to restore order. Park's sudden announcement of his bid to stay in office may provoke new and more serious troubles. Politicians in the splintered opposition groups, students and intellectuals complain that Park has been in power too long and that his Democratic Republican Party is corrupt.

...someone in a satisfactory manner is a game with many and time-consuming phases. Modern love affairs are reminiscent, according to Sebastian de Grazia, of business agreements: "No frills, no flowers, no time wasted on elaborate compliments, verses and lengthy seductions, no complications, and no scenes, please."

...Effluent Society. The consensus system also operates to perpetuate some startling inefficiencies that tend to keep consumers from sharing fully in Japan's industrial growth. Businessmen abroad complain about the low prices of Japanese exports, but prices inside Japan have been rising at close to the fastest rate in the industrialized world -5.3% last year. The 102 million Japanese now own more appliances per capita than any people except Americans but have practically no room for them. Housing space in metropolitan areas averages 40 ft. per person, no more than before World War II. To millions of people jammed...
