...THEATER OF CRUELTY. To demonstrate a new type of insulating foil, Union Carbide places a baby chicken in a small foil-lined metal box and then lowers it into a beaker of boiling water. Several long moments later, out pops the chick, frisky and unfried. The initial plunge is not exactly Grand Guignol, but it does provide a bit of a shock.

Nearly 90% of the 57 Communist infiltrators caught in the past year were captured on information supplied by villagers. In fact, it was four village woodcutters who helped foil North Korea's assassination attempt on President Chung Hee Park last January. Just to keep peasants in the same cooperative mood, Park has put up bounty signs all over the country ("Become a patriot and get rich by catching a spy"), and raised the reward money for informers from...
