...sure, after Park's indictment was unsealed, the White House revealed that President Carter had already asked South Korea's President Park Chung Hee to deliver the elusive wheeler-dealer to the U.S. for questioning before the House Ethics Committee by Special Counsel Leon Jaworski. But the Korean leader has turned aside repeated inquiries by U.S. diplomats about Park, often citing an unwillingness to abridge his "human rights." Rejecting the latest entreaties from Washington, Seoul's Foreign Minister Park Tong Jin observed curtly that "as a fully sovereign and law-governed nation, Korea finds no reason...

Jaworski may still believe, as his deputy Peter White insisted last week, that there will be "tremendous resentment" among Americans if Seoul does not cooperate.

O'Neill made it clear to Georgia's crusty John Flynt, chairman of the ethics committee, that neither he nor Jaworski would tolerate any obstructionism. "If Jack Flynt gets in our way, we'll go around him," said one investigator, "or maybe we'll just run right over him."
