When the U.N. command took away the altitude superiority by erecting a two-story building, North Korea put a star atop the ice-cream parlor to re-establish its height advantage by a couple of inches. U.N. guards at Panmunjom are mostly U.S. military police, chosen for their size and brawn to tower...
