...hats and more. When the son of a peasant from a North Korean village died last week at the age of 85, South Korea lost one of its 20th-century giants. If Korea's leap from war-battered basket case to industrial powerhouse was miraculous, Chung was chief miracle maker. He started out selling rice as a runaway teenager, set up his own construction company, then piled into everything from supertankers to microchips. His energy and drive were Olympian, his chutzpah legendary: he once sold a ship before Hyundai even had a shipyard. But like other chaebol chieftains, he fueled...

...offer you a match to keep you warm--that's the vice presidency," he said. Though many accounts confirm that LBJ frequently walked around the White House naked, I don't think that's what he had in mind here. Even John Adams, famed for being related to beer maker Sam Adams Dark Lager, wrote, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man or his imagination conceived."
