...confident and competent, especially within her field-mathematics. She was a beautiful person as well, who helped many of us to become better teachers. I cannot help wondering how much her association with the Peace Corps endangered her after the U.S. broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, and whether her life and the lives of many others might have been spared had more countries remained in Uganda to give voice to the oppressed people who were otherwise quite effectively cut off from hope...
...preserved a bewildering variety of Kim memorabilia: mats he sat on, pencils he used, even an empty jar that had once held kimchi (the potent, spicy relish made from fermented cabbage), which he once "looked into" while visiting a peasant family.

...South Korean Constitution enables President Park Chung-hee to remain in office for life and to "temporarily suspend the freedom and rights of the people" whenever he feels the "national security of the public safety and order is seriously threatened or anticipated to be threatened." "Emergency Decree Number Nine," enacted in 1975, prohibits criticism of the government or the constitution, bans all student political activity, enables authorities to remove offenders from their jobs, and prohibits news coverage of acts which violate the decree...
