The occasion is getting little recognition in South Korea, whose citizens are more concerned with their country's chaotic politics and reeling economy; beset by crop failures, scandals and corruption, the once puritan regime of Army Strongman General Park Chung Hee is in deep trouble. But Panmunjom celebrated the anniversary in its own way by holding the 175th meeting of the Armistice Commission...

Hitler, after all, built good roads and won himself some elections.

National pride is widespread, to be sure, and, after ten years of indoctrination, so is widespread belief in the eventual triumph of world communism. But according to all the official propaganda, at least, this does not mean Chinese or Russian territorial expansion. The Chinese intend to aid and encourage...
