...supporters accused the South Korean Central Intelligence Agency of masterminding the kidnaping. They pointed out that Kim, as leader of the New Democratic Party, polled 46% of the vote for president against Chung Hee Park in 1971. Kim went into exile when martial law was declared in October 1972, and in appearances in Japan and the U.S. has been criticizing Park's strongman rule...
...chloroform-like anaesthetic, and three knapsacks, one of them large enough to hold an adult. So smooth was Kim's kidnaping-or possibly his murder-that Japanese authorities speculated that it was the work of the ever-efficient Korean CIA, acting perhaps on the orders of President Chung Hee Park, whom Kim had called "an Asian version of Hitler." Exiled since last year, Kim, 48, who had astounded Park by gaining 46% of the vote in the relatively free presidential election of 1971, was a constant critic of Park's subsequent takeover of all government powers.

But last week, in a dramatic reversal of policy, South Korean President Chung Hee Park announced a large forward step. On nationwide TV and radio, he declared that "we shall not object to our admittance into the United Nations with North Korea"-an action he had previously sworn never to take. Park also said that he would open the doors to all nations, including socialist countries-possibly through trade contacts or even diplomatic recognition-if "those countries open their doors likewise...
