It was a routine transfer of valuables between wholesalers and repair firms and jewelry merchants; by using dowdy and inconspicuous delivery methods-old car, unarmed guards in mufti-jewelers feel they have the safest insurance against holdups...
When tough little General Park Chung Hee, 46, boss of South Korea's military junta, doffed khaki for mufti last August to run for President, many expected an elaborately rigged election ending in a landslide for Park.
