Bloody Words. Norman Barrymaine, 69, was also alone last Christmas. For him, the Kafkaesque nightmare began on a cold day in February 1968, shortly after the North Korean capture of the Pueblo. Barrymaine had gone to North Korea aboard a Polish freighter to cover the Pueblo story, but was denied permission to go ashore. In Shanghai a few days later aboard the same freighter, he did get a shore permit. Once on China's soil, he made the mistake of accepting his guide's invitation to photograph at will. When he snapped torpedo boats in the Shanghai river...
...join the Harvard coterie until 1954. He was born with a flat twang accent in 1928 in Fort Worth and worked through an M. A. at U. C. L. A. on a Native Son of the Golden West fellowship. With a new doctorate he spent the Korean War as an historian for the Joints Chiefs of Staff. In 1954 he came to Harvard as an instructor and has wandered up the academic hierarchy to full professor...
...dramatic as possible but redolent with knowing jargon. One of the more ingenious examples of the craft takes place on a windswept crag overlooking the Demilitarized Zone in Korea. For the benefit of important visitors, a demonstration of enemy tactics is staged by G.I.s. Playing the part of North Koreans, they slip up to some barbed wire surrounded by mock-up mines.

Credit controls, which were last imposed on the U.S. during the Korean War, might work more selectively to restrain lending, and in turn, demand for some kinds of goods. But neither Congress nor the Administration favors such an approach. The Administration is also adamant in rejecting a return to wage-price "guideposts" or "jawbone" jousting with business and labor over excessive price or wage boosts. The old guideposts permitted annual wage increases of 3.2%, an amount equal to average gains in productivity over a long period. Now productivity is falling, and workers can hardly be expected to take wage cuts...
...Pacific during World War II, and the man who signed the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay; and General Douglas MacArthur, who, after his historic two-month defense of Bataan, evacuated himself to Australia only to return four years later. He was relieved of his duties in the Korean War because he insisted on advancing U. S. forces into China. Millions of Texans served under Nimitz and MacArthur with 750,000 of them being killed in World War II. The two commanders are displayed with bombs bursting around them, fortresses crumbling, and aircraft carriers sinking...
