...wall! This is Phyllis ("Never Met a Man Who Was a Cad") Schlafly speaking. Stop your lascivious behavior at the copy machine, cease your sultry coffee service, and no more sexually explicit typing. Don't you know that virtue is its own reward? On-the-job harassment: Hah! That's what you get for unchaining yourselves from your kitchen stoves and trying to pretend you have something other than chitlins and children to give the world...
...Hah," exercised homeowners interject. "They may not be that high now, but they're going up all the time. We've got to stop it somehow." Indeed, Cantabrigians, who got their tax bills during the last two weeks, must have been rudely shocked. The tax rate last year was near $188 per thousand.

The protests were directed against the martial law that has been in effect ever since the assassination of President Park Chung Hee last October, and against the failure of the weak government of interim President Choi Kyu Hah to produce democratic reforms. The military-backed regime-dominated by the country's emerging strongman, Lieut. General Chun Du Hwan, head of the Defense Security Command as well as acting chief of the Korean CIA-responded with a far-reaching crackdown. It closed all 212 universities, detained hundreds...
...started two weeks ago, with a wave of student demonstrations in Seoul. The protests were aimed mostly against the martial law that has been in effect ever since the assassination of President Park Chung Hee seven months ago. The specific targets of these protests: the ineffectual President Choi Kyu Hah, 60, and, most of all, the authoritarian figure behind the President, Lieut. General Chun, 48. As both the head of the Defense Security Command and acting director of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Chun was already being regarded as the country's offstage military ruler...
