The Reagan Administration, its critics say, urges Chun to move toward democracy but fails to complain when he refuses to budge. Said a student in Seoul: "If America does not change its attitude...
...hotel chain, sells insurance and manufactures Kent cigarettes and Bulova watches, will increase its stake in CBS from 11.7% of the network's stock to as much as 25%. CBS was emphatic that the deal with Tisch was entirely friendly. "A mutual love affair," said Senior Vice President William Lilley III. "We want this guy. We welcome this guy."
