Park's reputed killers were arrested, and President Chun Doo Hwan dismissed the director general of the national police force and the Minister of Home Affairs. Nonetheless, university students protesting Park's death held a memorial service and campus protest marches, and the opposition seized the new popular issue. Trying to burnish his country's image before the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Chun called for the creation of an agency to prevent such "isolated" incidents in the future...
Bush has long been a dangerously awkward speaker. He often sets off in one direction at the beginning of a sentence and wanders off in another before it ends. Metaphors do not track. Phrases with a tinny ring -- "I really went ape" or "I was in deep doo-doo" -- pour out of him involuntarily.

...days last week the spacious, green campus of Konkuk University in Seoul was under siege, the scene of the worst violence between radical students and South Korean authorities in months. The clash came as roughly 2,000 students occupied five university buildings to protest the policies of President Chun Doo Hwan, who has repeatedly turned aside demands for democratic elections, and U.S. support for the Seoul government. Barricading stairwells, the protesters threatened to set themselves on fire if police moved...
