...modern Olympiad -- into a statement of the country's arrival as a sophisticated and confident middle power. But amid last week's tear gas and flaming Molotov cocktails, the linked rings of the Olympic flag had become not only a symbol of national aspirations but also an emblem of international worry. Around the world, a growing number of sports and political figures were voicing concern about whether South Korea would be able to stage the Games free from boycotts or violence, or indeed whether it should hold them at all. The South Koreans insisted that the Games would...
...weeks Kim has been under house arrest, his modest two-story residence in a Seoul suburb surrounded by 500 to 600 police. He and the eight aides confined with him can use the telephone and receive domestic newspapers, but no visitors are allowed inside. That isolation is an apt emblem of the country's weak and divided political opposition. A foe of virtually every regime since the South Korean republic was founded, the dissident parties have been persecuted by each military-backed government and denied any real share of power...
...other foreign capitals, the trim, blue-clad Marine is as much a fixture of the U.S. embassy as the flag. He stands in the reception area, resplendent in crimson-trimmed trousers, his hat bearing its gold corps insignia, a .38-cal. revolver at his side -- the very emblem of U.S. security and uprightness.

One of the shapeless peaked caps he rotates in endless supply bears the emblem of Calumet Farm. If Kentucky had bred Conner, would he have trained horses? Alydar was a Calumet colt the year Affirmed beat him by an inch in all of the Triple Crown races. Romantics tended to credit that inch to Affirmed's young jockey, Steve Cauthen. "Maybe if it comes...
...emblem or not, MOCA has had its share of troubles. It is lucky in its director: Koshalek, 45, formerly curator of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and director of the Fort Worth Art Museum, is a man of intelligence and voracious enthusiasm. However, not much in the way of bequests and gifts has yet reached MOCA. Some of its trustees, notably Robert Rowan, have given it good individual works. But so far only one collection has been donated: 64 works owned by the late Barry Lowen, a TV production executive whose tastes for minimal art, neoexpressionism and media-based...
