Once upon a time there was probably no cotton-pickin' way to get Sammy Davis Jr., 56, onto the set of a television show like the yahoo repertory Hee Haw. But that was before the onetime freedom marcher ("I was there in Selma") was paid a backstage call by Roy Clark, 49, during a stint in Las Vegas. Next thing he knew Sammy was onstage in Nashville, with Minnie Pearl, 69. Says Davis: "I really felt welcome. We're all family."

Two years before his kidnaping, he polled 43% of the vote in an election that was obviously rigged to favor then President Park Chung Hee. Hanging him would get rid of a constant nemesis for Chun, an army general who became provisional President last September, nearly a year after Park's assassination. Chun is running for a full term in presidential elections on Feb. 25. Besides that, an execution would mollify Chun...
