...Jung ran strongly, but narrowly lost the last presidential election in 1971. He spent much of the following 16 years in prison, under house arrest or in exile, and was even threatened with execution in 1980. The charismatic firebrand boldly asserted at his rally last week, "I, Kim Dae Jung, have already won the election." But it was the more moderate Kim Young Sam who last month scored the campaign's biggest coup. While declaring that "the call of history is to put a final end to military government," he won the support of several past military leaders, including former...
Experts say Kim Young Sam appears to be gaining momentum as the middle-of- the-road candidate.

It makes audiences think of Freud and Jung, of dark psychological thickets and sudden clearings of enlightenment, even as they roar with laughter. Its basic insight, plainly influenced by the revisionist scholarship of Bruno Bettelheim, is that at heart, most fairy tales are about the loving yet embattled relationship between parents and children. Almost everything that goes wrong...
...stage for his candidacy, Kim Dae Jung bolted from the Reunification Democratic Party that he forged in April with Kim Young Sam. The final split came after Kim Dae Jung rejected the younger Kim's proposal to have the Reunification Democrats pick a single candidate. In an eleventh-hour appeal, Kim Young Sam then sent an aide to urge the more volatile Kim Dae Jung to remain inside the party. When that plea also failed, Kim Young Sam declared that he viewed the elder Kim's defection with "extreme regret." Taking 27 of the party's 70 National Assembly members...
