...HEE HAW (CBS, 9-10 p.m.). Clever country corn with contributions from Guests Conway Twitty and Jerry Lee Lewis...
Shortly after he seized power in a 1961 coup, South Korea's President Chung Hee Park revised the constitution, limiting the chief executive's tenure to two terms. Park wanted to make certain that there could never be another marathon reign like that of former President Syngman Rhee, who ruled for 13 years.

In his appendices Luttwak offers other advice for despots eager to cling to their posts. It resembles that given by one of the tyrants of ancient Greece. Asked how it was that...
