...American use of force boosted South Korean faith in the U.S. as an ally. Said Kay Kwang Gil, a Seoul expert on international relations: "If this sort of piracy act had gone unpunished, few of the American allies on this side of the Pacific could have found it easy to maintain confidence in the U.S." The Japanese, who depend heavily on oil tankers and freighters that use the seas off the Cambodian coast, called the U.S. action justified. Australians generally regarded the U.S. action as inevitable and believed that the Mayaguez had to be recaptured if U.S. influence...
...Investigation. The shooting sparked a frantic investigation of how the would-be killer managed to penetrate the tight security that always surrounds Park.

Chemical Hostility. Danielli and his collaborators, Joan Lorch and Kwang W. Jeon, worked with the amoeba's three major components: the nucleus (central control center), the cytoplasm (gel-like body matter) and the cell membrane (outer wall).

Then they inserted into the remaining cell membrane a nucleus and cytoplasm that had been similarly removed from other cells. In more than 70% of their attempts, the transplant produced a completely viable...

It was easy, replied the secretary, for one who practiced the ancient Chinese sport of tai chi chuan, or shadowboxing. Houphouet-Boigny, 64, wasted no time in hiring a Taiwanese master named Kwang to teach him the sport's 108 movements. Kwang claims that his charge has not had a sick day since, and he adds, quickly hiding his spectacles, that the President can read without his glasses now. At least one observer was convinced. President Albert Bongo of nearby Gabon sent...
Reports are also trickling out of fighting in a dozen other provinces, including Yunnan, Szechwan, Sinkiang and Inner Mongolia. Some of the worst fighting has been in Canton, Kwang-tung's capital and the south's largest city (pop. 2,500,000), where several hundred have been killed in clashes centering on the downtown Pearl River bridge. The victims found in the Pearl last week were probably Cantonese...
