Guerrilla Threat. South Koreans are just as aware of that unhappy fact. North Korea's armed forces of 345,000 men are well trained and well armed. Constant attempts to infiltrate are made through the DMZ and along the coastline, both to terrorize the populace and to try to set off a guerrilla war in the south. In reply, South Korea maintains an armed force of 600,000, the world's fifth largest. Despite Seoul's complaints that its U.S.-supplied weapons are becoming increasingly outmoded, there is no doubt about the army's fighting spirit...
...nightfall, rumor had it that eight carloads of armed fraternity men were about to hit the hall. Negro Graduate Student Harry Edwards, organizer of last year's Olympic boycott, advised the blacks to take defensive countermeasures. In the dark, they smuggled in a small arsenal of rifles, shotguns and knives.

...Fifty years ago," says Tichauer, "men like Gilbreth produced many solutions, but there were no problems. Today we've got the problems." Even where the problems are now resolutely faced, he claims, they are often approached from the wrong direction. He contends that too often equipment is manufactured today for a person who, in his opinion, does not exist: the average man. The human frame comes in a dismaying range of sizes and configurations, and industry must reach at least a reasonable compromise with this unavoidable fact...
