...enemies will crush me to earth, and my family will find themselves living on rice crumbs and water." His younger son, Lee Kong Wook, 18, urged that the men of the family meet their enemies in the streets and die fighting. To his elder son, Army Lieut. Lee Kang Suk, 23, who had become Rhee's adopted heir three years before, Lee talked in classic Oriental fashion of the shame of "being looked down on by people." Suk savagely reminded him: "I told you that if you and your gang won the elections, the country would be ruined...

...history has supplied Horgan with some fine prototypes: his tall, gaunt, white-bearded General Quait brings to crotchety life the veteran U.S. Indian fighter, General George Crook; and his hero's final mission recalls the remarkable trek of Lieut. Charles Gatewood into the mountains of Mexico to talk the unpredictable Geronimo into surrendering.
