...this month, there are widespread fears of a new attack. North Korea's hard-lining Communist President Kim Il Sung, newly returned from a conference in Peking last month, increased Southern fears by declaring: "We are prepared for war." South Korea's strongman President Park Chung Hee responded with equal bellicosity, warning that the South is also ready for a fight. In this policy, Park has the support of even the opposition politicians. At a special session of the National Assembly, they joined in unanimous support of a government-sponsored resolution "to crush any provocation or invasion...
...experts expect Peking or Moscow (or both) to restrain Kim (TIME, May 12). Seoul, however, still has cause for concern. Communist victories in Indochina may so embolden North Korea that it will once again send its forces across the 38th parallel, perhaps gambling that South Korean President Park Chung Hee's repressive regime (TIME, April 28) has alienated the populace.

"This may not be the time to press Park publicly," says a State Department official, "but it has to be pointed out to him that it is in his own interest to ease...
...band in New England--hands down--and they're easy enough to listen to that weekend people up for drinking and dancing in the abstract always tend to ambie in and forget that what they're stomping to isn't too far from the same tradition that brought you "Hee Haw" (though Wright is to Hee Haw as the Stones were to the Monkees). Anyway, just returned from the Big Apple, and featuring the incomparable Spacey John Macey on pedal steel, John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mask, Boys, presented by the Harvard-Radcliffe Friends of Country, Country-Western...
