...Spanish goal was disallowed over a debatable offside call. But even if the team goes down to defeat at the hands of Germany in the semifinals, few Koreans will be complaining. "I don't know if we have felt like this since we gained independence from Japan," said Hahn Juho, a lawyer in Seoul, as he joined the after-game jubilation. No matter what happens in the last stages of the World Cup, Korea will be partying long after the final whistle blows...
...early as 1943, Kekkonen suggested that Finnish welfare depended on "neighborly relations with the hereditary enemy" in Moscow. His line was picked up by Kekkonen's presidential predecessor, Juho Kusti Paasikivi, who made it the basis of Finnish postwar neutrality after the Soviets forced a special "friendship treaty" on Finland in 1948. Kekkonen served five times as Paasikivi's Prime Minister in shaky coalition governments from...
...crossed the Finnish border, B. and K. were patently determined to keep things dignified. With only the faintest signs of ennui, they dutifully inspected housing developments and a children's hospital, strode through driving rain to lay a wreath on the grave of Finland's late President Juho Paasikivi*.

Born Johan August Hellsten, he changed his Swedish name to its Finnish equivalent before he entered politics, served twice as Finnish Premier (1918, 1944-46) before running for President. In 1955 he made his seventh official journey to the Kremlin1, negotiated a 20-year mutual...
When the Russians recently agreed to dismantle their naval base at Porkkala and return the area to Finland, their immediate aim was to persuade the Finns to elect a pro-Russian successor to old (85) President Juho Paasikivi, who is the only non-Communist chief of state to hold the Soviet Order of Lenin. Last week the newly chosen Electoral College picked pliable Premier Urho Kekkonen, 55, who has stood close behind Paasikivi in tiny, democratic Finland's enforced dealings with the Russian Communists...
